Cyprien Gaillard’s multifaceted practice encompasses photography, performance, and video, but also installation and intervention in public space. His approach, which he describes as a form of “vandalism,” questions with humour and nostalgia the traces that human beings leave in nature, particularly through architecture, and their resistance to the passage of time.
Born in 1980 in Paris, Cyprien Gaillard spent his childhood in the United States before studying at the Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL). He was awarded the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2010. He lives and works in Berlin.
