Eric Baudelaire
After studying political science, Éric Baudelaire chose artistic practice as a tool for taking a critical look at the world, through film, photography, performance installations and text.
His work explores a reality shaped by the systems of representation that structure contemporary societies—political, judicial, economic, and informational systems—and scrutinises that which does not conform to these systems, that which derails, wanders, or falls out of place.
His feature films are presented at festivals and exhibitions, where they are part of larger installations that include other works, archival documents and a programme of events.
His work has been exhibited at the Centre Pompidou, MMK Frankfurt, Kunsthalle St. Gallen, Museo Reina Sofia, Bergen Kunsthall, Kunstinstituut Melly, Bétonsalon, Fridericianum, Beirut Art Centre, as well as the Whitney Biennial, Sharjah Biennial, Yokohama Triennale, Mediacity Seoul and Taipei Biennial. He received a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship and the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2019, and published the monograph FAIRE AVEC with Paraguay Press in 2023.
