Cyprien Gaillard (*1980) works across a range of media including film, video, photography, collage, installation and live performance. His extraordinary cosmos gives new form to such phenomena as civilizational upheaval and geological time. Concerned with the wreckage of modernity and the intersections between human artefacts, urban geography and psychology, the Paris and Berlin-based artist’s work embraces a poetry of entropy that rearranges history to shed new light on the present.

Retinal Rivalry
OGR Torino, Turin
Through February 2, 2025
On the occasion of Turin Art Week, OGR Torino will inaugurate Retinal Rivalry, a solo exhibition by Cyprien Gaillard, curated by Samuele Piazza.
The show will present his new video work Retinal Rivalry (2024), which continues the artist’s interest in stereoscopic motion pictures for their sculptural, spectral and psychedelic potential, which began with Nightlife in 2015. By expanding the pictorial space and embracing the medium’s spatiality as an organizing principle for the various subjects considered, the film leaves specific narration behind to focus on pure vision. After it made its debut at the Fondation Beyeler in Basel, the work now awaits its Italian premiere.
