ROMAIN THIERY
Requiem pour pianos

Romain Thiery, is an artist photographer and an amateur pianist born in 1988.
He believes that the piano is deeply rooted in the depths of our culture and has sought to explore the instrument from an original angle. He combines his two greatest passions and seeks out places where old pianos have been abandoned. This research has led him to visit much of Europe and the United States.
The series resulting from Romain Thiery's work is entitled "Requiem pour Pianos"

Faced with Romain Thiery’s lens, these great houses have lost their glory. However, lurking in the shadows, astonishing wood and cast iron monsters with lacquered skin display their toothless smiles with ivory reflections. These pianos are the soul of the place, too heavy objects to be moved that the photographer unceasingly tracks down « even in the middle of a ruined space, the piano never ceases to preserve its power. He is there, he thrones with all his nobility.
