Michel Auder's Video Chronicles at Galerie Yvon Lambert
From September 9 to October 7, 2006, Galerie Yvon Lambert in Paris showcases a comprehensive collection of Michel Auder's film and video creations. Auder, who was born in Soissons in 1944, started his career as a photographer in 1961 and produced his inaugural 16mm film, Anne évadée des saisons, in 1965. In 1968, he became part of the Zanzibar group and worked alongside Pierre Clémenti and others. During that same year, he filmed Keeping Busy with Viva, a non-narrative piece. Following the financial disappointment of Cleopatra, he shifted focus to producing more personal video works. The exhibition includes both classic and contemporary pieces, such as Polaroid Cocaine (1993), which he created with Jean-Jacques Schuhl and Ingrid Caven.
