Photographer, artist, and designer
Born in 2002, lives and works in Paris.
Trained at the Kourtrajmé School ( JR’s Arts & Image section) and later in Film Studies at Sorbonne Nouvelle, Basile Pelletier develops a body of work where ambiguity becomes a language of its own.
His images often emerge from a carefully constructed mise-en-scène, yet always leave space for accident, chance, and drift. They seem to unfold just before or after something happens. This slight displacement, both gentle and unsettling, lies at the heart of his practice.
In 2021, he created the series 2060, shown at Le Centquatre-Paris and Arthub Gallery in London.
In 2024, he received the American Vintage Photography Award at the Hyères International Festival of Fashion and Photography for If I Could Make the World as Pure and Strange as What I See.
This prize led him, in 2025, to create A Time to Live in Taiwan, a set of images inspired by the cinema of Edward Yang and Hou Hsiao-Hsien, capturing a state, a threshold, that of a youth suspended between childhood and adulthood.
Since 2019, Basile has co-directed Humanitas, a brand and creative collective founded with Antoine Markovic.
His work has been presented at Villa Noailles (Hyères, 2024, 2025), Galleria Continua (2021), Le Centquatre-Paris (2022), Arthub Gallery (London, 2022), La Caserne (Paris, 2022), and Agnès b. (Montpellier) among others.
