Born in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges (France), he lives in Lille (France).
The body and its depiction are closely bound up with the evolution of science and technology. Incorporating Bernard Lallemand's work within the Museum of Medicine in Toulouse presupposes a temptation which the artist has enthusiastically given in to. For a few days, his distinctive dummies , at once androgynous, inert, sophisticated and sordid, will take the place of the museum's busts and other objects.
