David Douard
Born in 1983 in Perpignan, France
Having grown up with television and then the internet, David Douard was immersed in words and technology from a very early age. Language, in the form of texts and poems collected on the internet, is the foundation of his work. His sculptures combine technological elements, lettering, and repurposed objects. Douard thus questions the omnipresence of digital technologies, between tools of resistance and factors of alienation. He shapes and manipulates the words he collects which, through his practice, become sculptural materials.
Born in 1983 in Perpignan, David Douard was a resident at the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici in 2017–18. He lives and works in Paris.
