Pierre Clement - Find out more about the artist

BIOGRAPHY

Pierre Clement (1981) mostly dedicates his work to sculpture and installations. He permanently questions the notion of image and the means of representation. He is inspired by alternative cultures and underground Internet. His works highlight some particularities of our collective imagination: sci-fi, hacking, survivalism, satellite mapping, biotechnologies, military imagery, etc. They are heterogeneous in their forms and materials, but all appeal to similar methods: repetition, proliferation, encryption, overlap, replica, assembling. By meticulously examining their skeletons, the viewer is brought to question his own vision and certitudes.
