Drawing on the visual possibilities of electromagnetic energy, radio waves and natural phenomena, French conceptual artist Laurent Grasso (1972-) explores their effects on our perception through immersive videos, sculptures, paintings and drawings that use images and techniques borrowed from cinema and art history. At the crossroads of different temporalities, geographies and realities, his installations play with shifting points of view, the boundaries between fiction and reality, and unusual perspectives.
This book examines the artist's manipulations of what we perceive as the coherence of time, presenting artworks that merge a wide range of interests, including scientific speculation and fiction, natural disasters and representations of power and authority. This questioning of time is apparent in Grasso's paintings, Studies into the Past, created using precise historical techniques, which reconstruct our perception of the reality of another era to create a 'false historical memory'.
