Clément Cogitore: Sacred and Cinematic Explorations
Clément Cogitore, an artist and filmmaker born in 1983 in Colmar and currently residing in Paris, investigates the concept of the sacred across regions such as Asia, Latin America, Russia, and northern France. A graduate of Le Fresnoy, he works at the intersection of cinema and visual arts. His film 'Dans le jardin du temps' was featured in the Directors' Fortnight at Cannes in 2011. He received the Grand Prix at the Salon de Montrouge, which led to an exhibition at Palais de Tokyo. His significant works include 'Places' (2006), 'Cohabitation' (2008), and 'Passages' (2007). Future projects consist of 'Memento Mori' at Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord (starting March 26, 2012), 'Rondes de Nuit' at Galerie White Project (September 8 – October 6, 2012), and an exhibition at Villa Medici, Rome (July 3–7, 2012).
