Marc Kiska

Né en 1983, Marc Kiska a grandi près de Saint-Etienne en France et vit
actuellement en Norvège. Il écrit ses premières nouvelles sur les chaises
d'école. À l'âge de 20 ans, en cherchant à illustrer ses écrits, il se tourne
vers la photographie et en fera son métier. Photographe inclassable, il affine
sans cesse les nuances de son art, entre sensualité, violence, poésie et
mystère. Son sujet de prédilection, tant dans son travail photographique que
littéraire ? L'adolescence, sa quête de liberté et d'authenticité, et le
fracas contre la pression du conformisme. En 2017, Marc Kiska publie Les
Vestiges d'Alice (Editions Tabou), premier roman pour lequel il sera lauréat
du Prix du roman gay 2017. Roman qui vient compléter ses publications
photographiques dans la presse internationale et un premier artbook,
Outlandish /ROOM/, édité par l'artiste en 2014. En 2021, une ultime édition de
cet artbook, enrichie de cinquante inédits, paraît chez Abstractions. Born in
1983 and raised near Saint-Etienne in France, Marc Kiska currently lives in
Norway. As a teenager, while in class he writes his first short stories. At
twenty, and looking to illustrate his writings, he turns towards photography
and makes it his profession. An uncategorizable photographer, he constantly
refines the nuances of his art, between sensuality and violence, poetry and
mystery. What is his favorite photographic as well as literary subject?
Adolescence: its quest for freedom and authenticity, and its ultimate failure
in opposing conformism's pressure. In 2017 Marc publishes Alice's Relics
(Editions Tabou), his first novel for which he is awarded the 2017 Gay novel
prize. The novel now completes his body of internationally published
photographs, as well as a first Artbook, Outlandish /ROOM/ published by the
artist himself in 2014. In 2021 the Artbook's latest edition expanded with
fifty additional unpublished pieces is released by Abstractions.
