Following Baudelaire's flaneur or the surrealist stroll, joggers and models are the " isolated heroes " of modern times. In generating straight lines and drifts, the passers-by expose themselves as the novel figures of modernity. Frank Perrin has gradually extended his initial photographic survey of solitary joggers to that of runway models and more recently to the complex urban landscape of luxury labels. Capturing the structure of the spectacle and the individual's relation to the gaze of the spectacular society, a condensed version of elaborate social relations emerges. Frank Perrin is interested in the presentation of this new form of contemporary spectacle and stresses the isolation of the model on the catwalk in the ephemeral architecture of the great theatre of fashion, seeking to capture the tempo of post-modernity through two "ultra-contemporary" modalities ; from the jogger to the catwalk show. After "Joggers" (Postcapitalism 9) and "Défilés" (Postcapitalism 7), a new series of photographs, "Streets" (Postcapitalism 2) pursues an investigation of the passer-by within the advanced landscape of postcapitalism in which the street and its icons of shopping which are thrown into question and becomes the emblem of a society more spectacular than ever.

Frank Perrin was formerly a philosophy teacher and an art critic. He starts the photographic series of the Joggers in 1998 and the Fashion Shows in 2003. He start the new serie " Streets " in 2005. These three series are from sections 7, 9 and 2 of a global work intitled Postcapitalism.

He lives and woirks in Paris. After founding the art review "Bloc Notes" in the early 1990's he began taking photographs. He is also the founding director of Crash magazine. Significant exhibitions have included those at the Daelim Musem, Seoul, Korea, "Victims de la mode" at the Centre d'art CRAC Alsace, "Show Time" at the Museum Galiera, Paris and gallery Jousse Entreprise, Paris.
