The Ugly One (2013), which premiered at Locarno, was his first narrative feature. His feature films have circulated widely at film festivals, including Locarno, Toronto, New York, FID Marseille and Rotterdam. When shown within exhibitions, Baudelaire’s films are part of broad installations that include works on paper, performance, publications and public programmes. His work is in the collections of the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
