Pierre Gaignard

Pierre Gaignard is an artist, sculptor and film-maker, co-founder of Wonder (artist-run-space) and researcher in the laboratory “Effondrement des Alpes”, ESAAA Annecy. For ten years, he has been producing a documentary work composed of sculptures, performances and experimental films, both documentary and fictional. This body of work is driven by a strong intention: to witnessing time at work and bringing to light the survivals that operate there. To this end, he is conducting parallel artistic and academic research in DSRA. He questions the relationship between man and his memory and environment and, inevitably, with forgetting. The different forms that make up these narratives have a functionality that is sometimes pragmatic, sometimes political. They are inspired by the context in which they are set, but also by a more universal idea about our society.
