Laurent Pernot was born in 1980 and lives and works in Lille and Paris. After graduating from the pretigious Le Fresnoy, Studio national des arts contemporains in Tourcoing, France, Laurent Pernot has travelled around the world with a series of exhibitions which led him to China for the Biennial of Wuyishan, to the Miró Foundation in Barcelona, to the Intercross Creative Center of Sapporo, Japan, and to Finland, Great Britain, Germany, Slovenia, Switzerland and India. His poetic control of space and the subject doesn't appear only in his photographs but also in his videos. His approach rests on the exploration of major ambiguities of existence and has always been influenced by the possible slippages between scientific and philosophical concepts, in particular those which treat human consciousness and aspects of life.
