ART-O-RAMA closed its doors on Sunday — a huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to see Nicolas Lebeau’s work in person.

Using printers he has hacked and modified, Lebeau produces distorted photographs shot between France and Brazil — fragile existences, clandestine workers, Brazilian immigrants in Paris, young people living on the margins.

Their damaged, glitched surfaces are a form of resistance: fragments sourced from Telegram channels documenting global conflicts and struggles are layered directly into the images. Low in data, marked by imperfection, these “poor images” refuse the demand for clarity and legibility.

By transforming them into physical, sculptural objects, Lebeau gives these unstable images weight and material presence — allowing them to escape the eye-that-sees-all of the urban space.

PM/AM is very excited to be opening today for this year’s edition of ART-O-RAMA in Marseille.

Friday 28th August
Professional & Press Preview — 11am–4pm
Vernissage — 4–9pm

Marking the first collaboration between PM/AM gallery (London) and Nicolas Lebeau (Paris/Rio de Janeiro), our solo presentation brings together new works reconfigured from its first presentation at Galerie Mennour, Paris, earlier this year into a more intimate, spatially concentrated format.

Lebeau’s practice responds to the growing entanglement of the image with systems of surveillance and control.

Booth 24, La Cartonnerie, Friche la Belle de Mai.

Nicolas Lebeau grew up between two countries, and for a long time, that felt like belonging fully to neither.

Splitting his practice clearly between what he made in France and what he made in Brazil, he’s since come to see that in-between position differently — less a gap to resolve than a space that makes new work possible. That tension runs through Would you wear my eyes?, made across both countries over the past six months.

Not every image in Nicolas Lebeau’s work is his own.

Part of the practice draws on lower-resolution images gathered from Telegram channels documenting conflict, climate change or the effects of displacement — handled with care, always fragmented, never identifying. Lebeau treats these as images already circulating in the world rather than material he’s introducing to it, letting his own photographs sit in dialogue with them.

The objects in Nicolas Lebeau’s installations don’t start in the studio — they start on the street.

Anti-climb spikes and deterrent structures recur throughout the work — forms drawn from improvised anti-intrusion methods Lebeau grew up around between France and Brazil. Alongside melted glass bottles. Melted down, something built to threaten becomes soft, almost awkward.

Inside Nicolas Lebeau’s process, ahead of his booth at ART-O-RAMA next week.

Lebeau runs his photographs through deliberately modified printers and disrupts others at the level of code — not correcting the resulting distortion, but working with it. The damage becomes the point: images that resist easy legibility, half-formed as if they were ever growing.

“Long before art school, Lebeau found photography through skateboarding. Spending most of his time on the streets, he developed an early instinct that the structures built to control or exclude - the ledges, gaps, and blind corners of a city, but also the cameras, tools, and image-making conventions themselves —could be studied, reappropriated, and turned into something else entirely. That refusal to be a passive user, whether of urban space or of the medium itself, remains the starting point for everything he makes.”

PM/AM presents Would you wear my eyes? by Nicolas Lebeau at ART-O-RAMA Marseille, 28–30 August.

Reconfigured from its first presentation at Galerie Mennour, the booth brings distorted photography and sculpture into conversation with surveillance, control, and the systems that decide what gets seen.
