Julien Maire
Artist Residency

He gives them a pataphysical slant, disassembling and inverting the functionality of various perception machines, like projectors or cameras. As part of his Agosto Residency, he will exhibit at the Inverse Mindset exhibition which will take place in Galerie AMU from 19 July - 2 September 2018.
