Exhibition “Malices et Simulacres” by Pierrick SORIN

Cultural Exhibition Visual/graphic arts

From Saturday 07 November 2026 to Sunday 31 January 2027

Every day

Location : Polaris - Centre d'Art

Presentation

As early as the 1990s, Pierrick Sorin established his artistic style through video art. A fan of self-filming, Pierrick Sorin creates skits in which he stars with great humor, set in makeshift scenes featuring a mix of real and fictional objects.

Over time, his works have taken on various forms: short films, visual installations, and holographic displays, also known as optical theaters. The artist takes on all the roles; with humor and self-mockery, he embodies all the characters in his work—rather clumsy, awkward, or shy beings whose gestures evoke the world of slapstick comedy. A poetry of illusion, rooted in the legacy of Georges Méliès and Jacques Tati, that questions—with gentle irony—the process of constructing the images presented and their validity.

Faced with the complexity of the world, Pierrick Sorin veers toward an absurd world—at once serious and funny—and uses comedy to question both the foundations of an artistic approach and the human condition. An intimate and comical body of work that challenges our perspectives and perceptions.
