Fred Périé


A trained architect and engineer, Fred Perie first creates during 15 years simulation softwares applied to the mechanical behaviour of materials. He particularly works on instabilities and the emergence of forms, a question which still underlies his work. In 2004, he commits himself professionally into a visual research through landscape interventions as well as real-time video installations. He is concerned by the techniques, as representations of our relation to the world, and by the resulting traces. This produces transgressions and ephemeral traces, an ambiguous writing of the world.
