Valentin is an architect, researcher and photographer from France.

Currently based in Paris, Valentin previously worked at OMA/AMO with Rem Koolhaas where he participated in Countryside, the future, a research and exhibition project in Guggenheim New York. In 2021, he took part in the Venice Architecture Biennale curated by Hashim Sarkis How will we live together? as a contributor to the Luxembourg pavilion.

Valentin’s work ranges from installations, exhibitions, writing and photography, in which he focuses on ordinary encounters that manifest the entanglement of anthropogenic activities within our environment. His series look at specific territories, from urban to rural and in between, and explore our relationship to otherness through technology, socio-economics and human intervention.

Valentin took part in the Experimentation in Arts and Politics program led by Frédérique Aït-Touati and Bruno Latour at the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po).

His work has been published in books and magazines such as Accattone, Cosa Mentale, Walkscapes, Trans and Yale Paprika.
