bio
B. 1982 in Cambrai (France)
Lives and works in Brussels

Damien Petitot's work is clearly oriented towards experimentation and the use of corrupted techniques and technologies. His videos, pictures, texts, sounds or sculptures, are "generated" by technical devices that he uses in a random and deviated way, devices somehow "pirated". Mistakes and accidents become the raw material of his work. Connections, connectors, wires, cables, network, loop, feedback, electricity, path, flux, rupture are basics keywords to define his work.

Alongside his own projects, he works for several years as a videographer in stage projects (theater, performance, music) which he collaborates doing video scenography. The stage then becomes for him a space of visual experiments.
