/Biography
As a video-maker and visual artist, Xavier is engaged in polymorphous research into digital media as objects that amplify reality. Through this work, he seeks to establish a sensitive link between the observer and the living. His choice of using moving images to serve this purpose stems from their combined ability to give contours to the invisible, and to allow the viewer to perceive the complexity of minuscule forms as an infinity in its own right.
Between 2015 and 2018, he wrote and designed the sets for several plays, including Le Sommeil des machines, during a residency at the Lamartine friche in Lyon. Today, he participates in various theater directing projects as a video artist, and in December 2023 completed a residency for the creation of Matter's whisper, an exhibition combining craft and digital arts at the Daigo-Ji Temple in Kyoto, with the support of the Franco-Japanese Sasakawa Foundation and the Institut Français du Kansaï.
