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.

Okayama Art Summit
September 26–November 26, 2025
The theme of this year’s Okayama Art Summit is The Parks of Aomame, inspired by Aomame, the mysterious character from Haruki Murakami’s novel 1Q84. As Artistic Director Philippe Parreno describes in his statement, a curated group of thirty individuals and groups from twelve countries and regions—including artists, musicians, architects, designers, scientists, writers, and thinkers—will use their unique methods of expression to create new forms, transforming Okayama’s public spaces into places where reality and imagination naturally merge. Sprüth Magers is delighted that Cyprien Gaillard and Mire Lee are amongst the participating artists.
