Philippe Parreno is a multimedia artist who lives and works in Paris. A key artist of his generation, he rose to prominence in the 1990's and is regarded as one of the most innovative and intriguing international artists. Talent, imagination, magic, technology, poetry and light are some his trademarks. He creates installations, films, music, drawings, sculptures, text pieces, performances and other works that span different media, while asking viewers to join him in a journey to a personal, imaginative and subtle universe, where the boundaries between tangible and imagined, real and apparent, objective and subjective, present and memory, become vague and blurred. According to Parreno, 'art must create subjectivity and help carry one's gaze away from a penseé unique. It must favor plurality against individuality, open new paths for exchange, break the rules and promote otherness as opposed to a formatted identity. Especially now, that we are living through a crisis which has destroyed the dream of politics being able to change things.'
