Aurelien Froment’s artistic process starts from a single object which serves as a model for a specific moment in its existence, reconstructing the history of this object through language. The process of reconstruction is not linear, instead Froment creates a network of associations and juxtapositions which analyze the archaeology of the object, revealing its trajectory in time and space. The language selected by Froment, its structure and sound, create a tension with the image that develops into an interaction of meanings and connections, subjecting the image to a continuous flux of interpretation.
For the PinchukArtCentre Froment has merged three individual films into one new 3-channel work, radicalizing the complexity, the associations and interpretations offered by each work on its own.
