RENAUD AUGUSTE-DORMEUIL France, b. 1968

Renaud Auguste-Dormeuil is an artist on the lookout. Since the mid-1990s, he has been working to unveil the invisible structures that inform our relationship to an ever-mediatized reality. Relentlessly, he questions the manufacture of the image in its political space. Visibility-invisibility, luminosity-darkness, memory-oblivion, what we know-what we think we know; evoking without showing, saying without narrating... are all markers for understanding the works that shape the codes organizing the flow of images.
