Victor Burgin’s works explore relations between still and moving images and words, most often in their narrative functions. Although his works are rooted in everyday reality, Burgin’s main and most constant concern is with the psychological space where perceptions of the physical world merge with memory and fantasy.
The exhibition at Jeu de Paume will feature a selection of works from the 1970s-1980s, when Burgin worked with black and white photography, as well as works from the past two decades, when he starts to work with video.
