Interior and exterior, transparency and opacity, exhibitionism and voyeurism, feminine and masculine; all these notions oppose or unite in the infinite cycle of a labyrinth with no exit. Life here is like a loom whose living weft is woven from a myriad of branching threads and paths.

Boris Labbé

Trained at the École supérieure d’art de Tarbes and then at the École de cinéma d’animation d’Angoulême, the work of Boris Labbé (born in France in 1987) quickly toured the world, whether in contemporary art exhibitions, international film festivals, or at audiovisual concerts. His latest short film La Chute was selected at the Critics’ Week of the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. In 2020 he collaborated with the choreographer Angelin Preljocaj and signed the video scenography of the show Swan Lake. His films and video installations have earned him some fifty awards and distinctions around the world, including the Golden Nica Animation at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz and the Grand Prix at the Japan Media Arts Festival in Tokyo. Between 2023 and 2024, he has developped and carried out two landmark projects: Ito Meiky?, his first virtual reality project and Glass House, a video scenography in collaboration with composer Lucas Fagin.
