About
°1982
Barthélemy Antoine-Lœff is a visual artist whose creations of optical and digital artworks, sometimes interactive, often immersive, express dreamlike worlds crossed by a contemplative and ecological relationship of nature and elements. The artist creates spaces for sharing his feelings about the "forces" of the world: dreams, energies, materials, technologies. Refusing to place himself in the field of the Kantian sublime, he positions himself at the place of wonder and infantile craze, as if to claim the part of the dream that we develop as a child and which remains forever our "desiring motor" throughout our life. Resolutely focused on ecological questions, his current research leads him to question the irony behind the profitability of repairing the climate, the disappearance of the cryosphere and its impact on our lifestyles, as well as the energy cost of the exhibitions.
