Born in 1966 in Paris, he lives there.

 

Bertrand Lamarche likes incorporating his work, which may take the form of videos, installations and maquettes, within the “visual arts” arena, and this is because he has a preference for sight andision. And things dizzy. Through systems and maquettes, he brings out the ghostly aspect of reality

 

A word about your artistic proposal?

It involves in installation that includes a projector, a reflector and a projection. The reflector, a panel a metre square, on which reflecting paper is affixed, send light reflections to the opposite wall, forming an approximately 4m x 2.5 m projection. With slow movements created by a stylet moving about on the reflecting paper, this projection conjures up a living entity trying to take shape, but not really managing to. I was thinking of Pierre Klossowski's Baphomet as well as John Carpenter's The Thing, when I was making the piece.
