Sébastien Sindeu is a French photographer based in Bordeaux, member of Divergences.
A natural attraction draws him regularly to the ocean coastlines and the realm of the seas, but he is also passionate about the matters of flows and mobility. His work about the main European straits was published as "Détroits" (Le Bec en l'air, 2012). In 2023, he publishes the photobook "La montagne qui marche" ["The Mountain that Walks"] (Studio Kochab) about the erosion of the coastline along the Atlantic coast in the Médoc region.
Sébastien Sindeu was part for several years of the collective LesAssociés with whom he published "D'ici ça ne paraît pas si loin" (Le Bec en l'air, 2020), a survey of the new French region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine in the times of the fusion of regions in France and arrival of the fast-train TGV line in Bordeaux.
