Submitter Statement
Yannis Mohand Briki is an artist and filmmaker working and living in Paris. Through installations and cinematic video, his work ex- plores themes of solitude, apparition, and memory. The artist sheds light on the resurgence of personal memories as unique emotional archives.
Through the camera lens, Yannis Briki creates figures that are both ambiguous and fierce, evolving within surrealistic settings that unveil the solitude of characters wandering through the maze of their memories, occasionally flirting with the edge of madness.
His approach questions the solitude of these characters within their memories, delving into the themes of love and despair, and examining the resurgence of personal memo- ries as emotional archives that shape common identities through the dreamlike world of myths and legends.
