Boris Bergmann

Boris Bergmann (b. 1992, Paris) is a French novelist, editor, and exhibition curator. He has published five novels, among them Nage Libre, which received the Prix de la Vocation in 2018, and Les Corps insurgés (Calmann-Lévy, 2020), which received the Prix Fénéon. He was a fellow at the Villa Medici in Rome and at the Villa Kujoyama in Kyoto. He is the associate editor of the art and literature publication Magma.

In 2021 he directed Les Monts Analogues de René Daumal (Gallimard, October 2021) — the first illustrated and expanded edition of Daumal's unfinished 1952 novel, augmented with previously unpublished documents, intimate readings by contemporary artists (including Philippe Parreno), an interview with Alejandro Jodorowsky, and essays by Cécile Guilbert, among others. The preface was written by Patti Smith. Concurrently, Bergmann co-curated the exhibition Monts Analogues at the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne in Reims (September–December 2021), which brought together works by artists of different generations and disciplines responding to Daumal's text.

His forthcoming novel Minotaure — his first autobiographical work will be published by Albin Michel in 2026.
