PIERRE-LAURENT CASSIÈRE (FR) – Distorsions

In association with the Musées d’art et d’histoire and the Maison Tavel

Pierre-Laurent Cassière (b. 1982) is a french artist whose practice is mainly influenced by media archaeology. Through kinetic sculpture, expanded cinema and sound installation, his audiovisual artworks often combine historical techniques with contemporary technologies to propose contemplative apparatuses that confront us with our perceptive habits.

Three dark mirrors suspended from solid oak gallows deform the image of bodies and space according to their oscillations. The steel sheets adopt numerous vibratory states: from gentle, almost liquid undulations, to noisy convulsions, which fragment, blur, and multiply reflections.
