Michel Mimran (born Michael Michel Mimran, 1954) [1] [2] is a French architect, artist and member of the artistic circle of Luxembourg. [3] He's been actively working around the subject of perception and memory. [4]
Studied architecture in Paris, and later on was accepted into the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts of Paris. Mimran graduated from both universities, with one degree in architecture (1978) and another in arts (1976) [5]
After working in several architecture offices, Mimran started his own architecture agency, specializing in rehabilitions, heavy renovations of office, activity and residential buildings. With his first works on the Bercy train station, he combined art and science by showing via a photographic process the methodical cutting in "slices" of an urban space, a process concomitant of tomography. Since 1993 he has dedicated himself exclusively to art. With new technologies, he develops his researches on painting, photography and music. He has created a series of computer-generated animations. [6]
Mimran has been working since 1974 on the subject of perception and memory. His artistic works revolve around the exploration of every aspect of memory. A memory that he classifies in three categories : the temporal memory, the movement memory and the cultural memory. His first work surrounding perception and memory took place on the former Bercy railway station in Paris, and consisted in cutting a space, limited by a photographic frame, in " slices ". 96 photographs showing 96 different spaces. He also cut in " slices " a 360° photographic field. In 1976, he realizes two works requiring a " participative photography " at the Porte Dorée in Paris.
Meanwhile, he starts his first " Fotoforms " colors in an argentic system in order to explore the " movement memory ". [7] In 1995, he's selected for a serie of magnifying-glasses paintings at " 95 : Luxembourg : European city of culture ". In the 90's, he creates computer-generated images that are exhibited on a flat screen at the villa Vauban [8] in Luxembourg in 2003.
In summer 2005 during his stay at the Grand Hôtel of Cabourg, he takes a picture of a scene that will inspire him a work on Proust’s idea of memory. This work, entitled " Cabourg 2006, hommage à Proust " [9] was exhibited at the Grand Théâtre of Luxembourg the following year. [10]
In 2005 he goes back to his " Fotoforms " and reaches his goal concerning the movement memory, thanks to digital photography. Those " Fotoforms " were exhibited in 2009 at the Tuchfabrik in Trier and are still exhibited at the Olympus [11] gallery. In 2009 the foreseeing transformation of Luxembourg's railway station inspires him a work on temporal memory called " Memoria: La Gare de Luxembourg, le 11 Juillet 2009 ». [2] This series of 24 photographs was exhibited at the Carrérotondes [12] in Luxembourg. [13]
Since 2008, he has orientated his researches towards cultural memory with a series of pictures mixing photography, computer-generated images and drawings, entitled « Crash in the Kitchen » and « Flower on the Floor » Those works were exhibited at the Credit Suisse Gallery in Luxembourg city [14] In March 2011, his new photographs were exhibited at the Abbaye de Neumünster [15] Currently, in "Wellington-Picadilly", he's using Google Earth and geolocalization as a tool in his work.
Michel Mimran also participated in non-profit organizations such as Kiwanis and Autistes sans frontières by offering some original pieces for auction. [16] [17] In 2012 Autistes sans frontières asked 56 international artists to give away an original artpiece to raise funds for children with autism. [18] [19]

Photography in Luxembourg is often associated with two figures who were born in Luxembourg but left when very young: Edward Steichen (1879–1973) was an American who made outstanding contributions to fashion and military photography during the first half of the 20th century; while Gabriel Lippmann (1845–1921), a Frenchman, was awarded the Nobel prize in physics for his achievements in colour photography. There are however many Luxembourg nationals who are remembered for recording the development of the city of Luxembourg and the country as a whole from the 1850s to the present.
Luxembourg art can be traced back to Roman times, especially as depicted in statues found across the country and in the huge mosaic from Vichten. Over the centuries, Luxembourg's churches and castles have housed a number of cultural artefacts but these are nearly all ascribed to foreign artists. The first examples of art with a national flavour are paintings and maps of the City of Luxembourg and its fortifications from the end of the 16th until the beginning of the 19th century, although these too were mostly created by foreign artists. Real interest in art among the country's own citizens began in the 19th century with paintings of Luxembourg and the surroundings after the country became a grand duchy in 1815. This was followed by interest in Impressionism and Expressionism in the early 20th century, the richest period in Luxembourg painting, while Abstraction became the focus of art after the Second World War. Today there are a number of successful contemporary artists, some of whom have gained wide international recognition.
