Work
Work
Laurent Montaron is an interdisciplinary artist working across film, photography, installation, sound and objects. His work is suffused with the contemporary history of the media and questions the tools that shape our representations,. In his work he attempts to reveal the sometimes irrational element of belief involved with emerging techniques. His perception is that while technology has provided the public with new means of perceiving and representing reality it has not necessarily brought people closer from the truth, for it has also given rise to new ways for questioning paradoxes attendant on our awareness of modernity.
