Great Jules' photostream  

Dan Hayon was born in Bucharest, middle of the last century. He graduated from the Art Academy. He left his native Romania in 1972 at the time of the Ceausescu regime.
He lives in Paris since 1994.
A long time ago, he took an anonymity vow, which he finally broke in February 2006 when the Romanian Cultural Institute invited him to show a 30-year retrospective of his photographic works. He tried to go back to a status of anonymity but it didn’t work out that way: later the same year, in Brittany, he had a show called “The scents of Bucharest”.
In 2006, the Parisian gallery Aittouarés showed "Crossing", a photographic project made in collaboration with the French poet Guy Goffette. In March 2007 Hayon was invited to England to hold a one-man show ("Out of Space"), and a second one, called "From toilet to toilet", during the PhotoStroud Festival in October 2007. Generally, he does not like to talk about his work because he is afraid that once he starts, he won’t be able to stop.
