Cyprien Gaillard
Cyprien GAILLARD (1980, France) graduated from Ecole Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne in 2005. His wide-reaching art practice includes sculpture, painting, photography, video, performance and large-scale public interventions. Cities of Gold and Mirrors (2009) is a non-narrative 16mm film that continues his investigation into built environments as sites of memory and loss, particularly as manifested in decaying post-war Modernist architecture. In 2010, Gaillard won the Prix Marcel-Duchamp. For Nightlife (2015), he used 3D to create a filmic sculpture. Ocean II Ocean was screened at Venice Art Biennale 2019.
