In 2023, Robin Poupon set up a center dedicated to the arts of printmaking, and more specifically to engraving, and experimented with the different techniques of this discipline by considering them as installations, as vectors between sculpture, photography, and different forms of stories. He then set about creating works in series, dealing with subjects such as video surveillance, or even (inter)personal memory, and endeavored to convey what poetry can do, in order to re-examine our relationship to the world, which he apprehended as an emergency.

“Places filmed” series
In 2022, Robin Poupon began a series mainly in medium and large format, drawing images all from the same theme, which is surveillance. From shots collected on several sites, providing free access to surveillance cameras and their captures, providing him with very varied contexts, he sets about taking up these same spaces, representing in themselves the numerous impacts of human beings on their environment, establishing a link between the absurdity of the world in which we evolve, its decadence, while trying to bring out its intrinsic beauty, subsequent to the categorical harshness of the environments he selects (burnt forest, city with abundant architecture, abandoned places, elevators, street scenes…)
