Courant Grard Horoscope

Overview

Courant is best known for Cinématon, a monumental series of short, silent, single-take portraits begun in the late 1970s and continued across decades. The project assembles thousands of faces from the arts, literature, cinema and everyday life, forming a living archive. Beyond Cinématon, he has produced travel diaries, city sketches, and process-driven works that foreground duration, presence and minimal means.
