Barthélemy Antoine-Loeff is a French filmmaker and new media artist, based in Paris. He explores, the fragility of the world, using installations and performances. He’s staging immersive and poetic audiovisual experiences to make visible what is not, twisting reality to extract other dimensions : some doors open onto universe full of mysteries… Attracted by the darkness and the light which may arise therein, by the opposing forces, fed by the Italian cinema of the years 60/70 and the kinetic art, he creates precarious and ephemeral balance that can break into a fraction of a second. With his language based on the mechanics of dreams and madness and its cinematographic aesthetics, he’s questioning the look and the influence of the humans on their surroundings. In 2016, his work Ljós is nominated to the International Digital Art Prize, Prix Cube. Barthélemy Antoine-Loeff is also the co-founder with Philippe Chaurand of the group Iduun, a new media art – stage art collective. He is also associated to the creation of Millumin, a software dedicated to performance and audiovisual installations. Barthélemy Antoine-Lœff lives and works in Paris. He was finalist of the Paris Young Talent Price in 2011 with Iduun for the show Kadâmbini. His works are exhibited in numerous festivals and venues in France and abroad: CMODA, (Beijing, China), Le Cube (Issy-Les-Moulineaux, FR), Gaité-Lyrique (Paris, FR), Theater les Ateliers (Lyon, FR), Croisements Festival (Wuhan and Chengdu, China), Mapping Festival (Geneva, SW), Vision’r (Paris, FR), Empreintes Numériques (Toulous, FR), Vidéoformes (Clermont-Ferrand, FR), CHB (Berlin, GER)…
