CLÉMENT COGITORE

Clément Cogitore (Colmar, 1983) studied at the School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg and Le Fresnoy-National Studio of Contemporary Arts in Tourcoing and has developed a style that lies at the mid-point between cinema and contemporary art. By mixing film, video, installation and photography, his work questions the way people coexist with their images. More often than not, it is a question of rituals, collective memory, representations of the sacred, as well as a certain notion of the permeability of worlds. His work has been exhibited and projected in numerous museums and centres of art. In 2015, his first full-length feature Neither Heaven nor Earth was screened in the International Critics’ Week section of the Cannes Film Festival and received the Gan Foundation Award and the Prize for Best First Film from the French Syndicate of Cinema Critics.
