Hervé Plumet

Author, photographer and director.

After studying applied arts in Lyon, he worked in a number of agencies as an art director. From 2009, he became a freelance photographer and director, working mainly in the field of cultural communication, notably for the Toy Museum, the Manufacture de Sèvres and the Hunting Museum in Paris. In collaboration with the visual artist Françoise Petrovitch, he has produced video works presented as part of Marseille 2013 or exhibited in museums (Musée de la chasse, MACVAL). As a director, he has made a number of films that demonstrate his commitment to ‘great causes’: for the LICRA on viral racism, for CCFD against tax havens, for the FNSF against violence against women, and for the Cardio Vascular Research Foundation. In publishing, he has collaborated on several occasions with Françoise Petrovitch: Mes familiers (Sémiose édition, Frac Alsace 2004) and Ne bouge pas poupée (CIAV Meisenthal 2008). In 2010, he also collaborated with Éric Pessan on La fête immobile (Presque Lune edition) and published Ne rien oublier (Arles edition), for which he wrote both the text and the photographs. For Des chimères dans la tête, Hervé Plumet is responsible for the sound and video design.
