Through video, installation, sculpture, photography, and painting, Laurent Grasso alters natural or artificial phenomena in order to challenge the limits of our perception and knowledge. Playing with anachronism, he mixes temporalities to create strange situations between past, present, and future. He thus conceives protean works, always on the cusp of reality and fiction, truth and falsehood.

Born in 1972 in Mulhouse, Laurent Grasso lives and works in Paris. He trained at the Cooper Union School in New York, the Central Saint Martins School of Art in London, the École nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and Le Fresnoy in Tourcoing. He was awarded the Altadis prize in 2005 and the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2008 and was a resident at the Villa Medici in Rome in 2004–5.
