Eric Baudelaire

http://baudelaire.net

°1973, Salt Lake City, lives and works in Paris.

Working in video, photography, printmaking and installation, Baudelaire is interested in the relationship between images and events, documents and narratives. Recalling factographic practices, his work can involve elaborate staged situations that appear to be real, but are somewhat off-kilter, placing the viewer in a situation of questioning the modes of production and consumption of images, political and social constructs and their modes of representation. He also uses simple techniques of assemblage, sampling and mechanical reproduction, applied to real documents, to playfully extract fictive narratives or new formal vocabularies. He has had solo exhibitions at Elizabeth Dee gallery, New York, Galeria Juana de Aizpuru, Madrid, and in Belgium at the Galerie Greta Meert and the Musée de la Photographie, Charleroi. His work is present in several public collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Centre Pompidou, the Fond National d'Art Contemporain, and the FRAC Auvergne.
