Hugues REIP

Profile

Hugues Reip (1964) was born in Cannes, France and now lives in Paris. He is a well known artist in France, who works with all mediums and materials. In his works, Hugues Reip reflects upon how perception of ordinary, uneventful environments is changed when temporally fragmented, sped up, slowed down, enlarged or inverted from moment to moment. For example, in his work titled "Eden"(2003), Hugues Reip presented the installation of flowers from southern France, which he has enlarged, printed and mounted on a wooden structure, which stands by itself, spread around in a space. He also integrates sound into visual art to work with the aspect of abstract poetry or narrative in music.
