Pierre Besson
Pierre Besson navigates between visual arts and architecture, and experiments with his art in the light of literary and cinematographic Science Fiction. The artist conceives his exhibitions as diegetic spaces where each image and object is loaded with fiction. His œuvre is a long thought process questioning our "human nature" and its binary future.
