Liminal Tears

In his first institutional solo exhibition with a new body of works, Damien Juillard experiments with forms of perdurability within the ephemeral digital image culture. Using scanned objects as well as edited screenshots from his smartphone, he extracts enduring moments from these fleeting, constantly changing screen landscapes. In a lengthy process of digital and physical choreography of movements, shifts and superimpositions the artist transforms these fragments into compositions that are presented in larger-than-life acrylic glass structures. As fascinating, minimalist pictorial bodies they confront us as mirrors with systems of data flows and network technologies that shape our contemporary existence.
