WITH: Brice Dellsperger
Born in Cannes in 1972, Brice Dellsperger is a French artist who has been exploring the codes of cinema since 1995 through his Body Double (x) video series. Following a strict protocol, he recreates iconic scenes from American cinema shot by shot, drawing on the work of filmmakers such as Brian De Palma, David Lynch, Paul Verhoeven, and Ridley Scott.
Based on the idea that commercial cinema is already a “disguise of reality,” the artist-director replaces all the original actors in his remakes with a single performer: himself. The multiple identities he takes on not only challenge gender and sexual norms, but also disrupt the viewer’s narrative expectations.
By replaying these scenes with exaggeration, humor, and cross-dressing, Brice Dellsperger questions the conventions of representation imposed by Hollywood cinema. His videos shift these classics into a strange, almost surreal and absurd realm, where the logic of the original plot gives way to a disorienting play of doubles.
Discover his work at Passages during the exhibition Quitte ou Double, from September 20 to December 13.
