aesthetics

Guillaume Cailleau's work is influenced by American avant-garde film and the performative practice of expanded cinema . Cailleau experiments with long-term photography, multiple exposures, color filters and other procedures that result from the conceptual penetration of his subject. His works examine everyday situations, scientific processes or personal spaces of memory. The materiality of the images and the process of filming itself move into the focus of his poetic compositions.
