Catalogue > At random

An old school used by an artist-cooperative during the 90s and the 2000s and before being recovered by the city to become a new place for gentrification.

Graduated from the National High School of Arts Paris-Cergy and from La Sorbonne Nouvelle in Cinema Studies, Nicolas Carrier develop his work on the edges of cinema, tourism and ethnography. Through short elliptical films, found footage pieces and photographs, he explores our relation to time and memory by creating floating and repetitive temporalities, minimal fictions, rituals or games. Inspired by the history of places that he used as playgrounds, his work reveals traces of human and nature and their way to appropriate them. It questions the themes of leisure, exploration and animism. Born in 1981, lives in Paris.
