Pierre Bismuth
Artist Cv
Pierre Bismuth uses his artistic practice as a tool to examine our perception of reality, especially regarding our relation to cultural productions. His procedures seem to follow the laws of entropy by creating effects of constant transformation, spontaneous change or finding ways of spending the "useless" energy of a system. The underlying aim of these strategies is always the same – to destabilize pre-established codes of perception by sabotaging the very logic of his material and to push the viewer to develop critical ideas when presented with cultural objects whose meaning seem obvious.
Pierre Bismuth lives and works in Brussels and New York.
