Artist
Laurent Goldring (FR)
After his studies in philosophy, Laurent Goldring developed his artistic career around the visual arts.
“Video images come from photography. These images are, in my opinion, works in themselves; but they have their own existence, they have generated a most singular universe. The discovery that, to produce different images, new relationships had to be created between the different protagonists of the shots, with all of the risk that this sort of exercise involves – this discovery led me to to seek out new processes of collaboration in different fields”
Laurent Goldring
Polymorphous photographer, known for his video work, Laurent Goldring approached sculpture with his series Ne pas toucher, a set of sculptures that included parts of living human bodies; art history with Lectures intitrées (a group of conferences whose title does not translate to English), and Hypothèses numérotées. In addition, he has worked for a number of years with the bodies of choreographers. Through his lens and his unique approach, he presents us with some extraordinary facets of their work. He has collaborated with Xavier Le Roy for Blut et Boredom; Self Unfinished; Jean-Michel Rabeux for Les Enfers, Carnaval; Benoît Lachambre for L'Âne et la Bouche; Saskia Hölbling for RRR; Other Features; Maria Donata d’Urso for Pezzo O Due and Germana Civera for Figures. Goldring the creator uses the body as an artistic instrument. His videos are never simply reproductions. The artist with whom he collaborates must relinquish his/her image, allowing other forms to arise in ways that approach the impossible.
