About


Artist and curator working with themes of memory, the poetics of ruins and post-humanism, using digital techniques to create virtual worlds, 3D sculptures, video, sound design and other conceptual forms to pose open-ended questions. Intimate encounters with people or objects, considered as the « other », providing material to work with and, over time, the relationships formed will define the aesthetics of the projects, The artist observe the past through individual stories by using oral histories recorded or archival material such as found footage. By broadening his definition of the “other”, is questioned the current role of artificial intelligence and, more broadly, our relationship with digital environments. Our experiences of these spaces raise a number of questions; as our tendency to remove ourselves from the tangible world, the monopolisation of our attention and the fragmentation of data. The works aims to illuminate an intimate understanding of the self and how individuals occupy their environment. Finding shared collective experiences allow Alexis Salley to move from the hyper personal to crucial global topics of our time such as decolonisation or our relationship to death. A fundamental part of his approach involves the process of protecting and saving memories and to make them accessible to others. Through the works, is shared an intimate reflections about our relationship to existence and to what defines us as human beings.
