Aurélien Froment
Born in 1976 in Angers, France
Situated between documentary and fiction, Aurélien Froment’s multidisciplinary practice draws on the principles of narration and mise en abyme. References abound in his work through a combination of texts, images, and videos. He revisits pre-existing works, forms, and concepts whose multiple interpretations he analyses and deconstructs. Rather than drawing unambiguous conclusions, Aurélien Froment prefers the grey areas, playing with the ambiguity that accompanies these ideas and drives our world.
Born in 1976 in Angers, Aurélien Froment studied at the École régionale des Beaux-arts de Rennes, the École supérieure des Beaux-arts de Nantes, and Manchester Metropolitan University. Winner of the young creation prize at the Mulhouse 001 biennial (2001), he has also participated in the biennials of Gwangju (2010), Lyon (2011), Venice (2013), and Sydney (2014). He lives and works in Edinburgh.
