Bertrand Cavalier (b.1989 France) develops a space that allows his artistic thinking to unfold from photography to sculpture, drawing and video, each medium developing its own space while enriching the others. His work makes the transition from a politics of the gaze, to a logic of sensation, where art becomes a physical, bodily experience rather than mere representation or narration. The forms he captures are “blocks of sensations”, while his sculptures translate into volume the unique moments captured by the image. In this way, his work is part of a contemporaneity that echoes the ideas of Gilles Deleuze, offering a reflection on our ability to communicate and share ideas beyond words, through sensations that resonate with our bodies and our spaces. — olivier grasser
