“François-Thibaut Pencenat’s artistic approach is characterised by its multidisciplinary aspect. He works on the idea of staging, establishing a relationship between reality and fiction. His images are elaborately worked, exhausting their possibilities, as is the site in which the works are presented. François-Thibaut Pencenat creates interference between sites of representation and sites of demonstration (involving proof). The notions of absence and obliteration are recurrent in his work, which question our visual memory as well as the remanence of certain forms from the history of art.”
