Two years after premiering Un film dramatique at FRAMES of REPRESENTATION in 2020, acclaimed Franco-American visual artist and filmmaker Éric Baudelaire is back this year to close FoR22 with When There Is No More Music to Write, and Other Roman Stories. Ahead of the UK premiere, Baudelaire joins Anna Colin in conversation to discuss everything from his early work as a photographer to his current practice in film and the visual arts.
Winner of the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2019, Éric Baudelaire has previously presented installations and exhibitions at, among others, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Centre Pompidou and Beirut Art Centre, and his film works have featured at numerous international festivals. His multidisciplinary research-based practice investigates what constitutes information and considers how the construction of varied sources of material shapes and manipulates our realities. Engaged and often political, Baudelaire presents and questions the contradictions that are inherent to our society, encouraging us to engage and reflect on notions of authenticity and truth.
This talk is hosted by Anna Colin.
