Benoît BROISAT (born in 1980 in Bonneville, France), young and recognized French artist who has been energetically examining the mechanism of representation by using a wide range of media including drawing, installation, photography and digital animation.
“Bonneville” (2007) is the representative work of Broisat with over 1000 drawings composed in an animated video. In this work, Broisat tries to reconstruct his hometown, Bonneville, from the fragmented memories of his real experiences as a child. This landscape of memory is gradually interwined with the viewer’s own memory, raising new individual stories. Christian Boltanski, the first person who first introduced Broisat in Japan as curator, writes about this work: “I think that what is characteristic of the work of the artist is that he speaks about his village but each viewer thinks: “That’s my village.” Everything we do is between the individual and the collective.”.
