Tendance Floue was founded in 1991, and is presently made up of Pascal Aimar, Thierry Ardouin, Denis Bourges, Gilles Coulon, Olivier Culmann, Mat Jacob, Caty Jan, Philippe Lopparelli, Meyer, Flore-Aël Surun and Patrick Tourneboeuf. The members operate both independently and jointly in groups which may vary in composition. The collective regards itself as a laboratory in which experiments in forms and the use of photographic language can be carried out, with the slogan 'A photo is not the goal but the starting point'.
