Sorin Pierrick

born in 1960

media artist, videographer, director, performer, actor, visual artist, photographer, director-en-scene

Sorin is a video artist and often stages short, dramatic sequences in which he himself acts all the parts. In many cases he plays with language and its arbitrariness. In his work ”Aki Lost Ero” (2001) the artist portrays all three musicians in a band. The imaginary constellation performs a song in a made-up, nonsense language.

Most of Sorin’s pieces are recorded in a studio in his home in Nantes, which gives them a cramped and at the same time expansive character, a kind of deliberate but very real low-budget atmosphere. Sometimes grotesquely funny, sometimes in a slapstick mood, but always with a humorous and precise sympathy for his fellow beings, Sorin depicts the failures of the individual and the absurdity of existence. Empathy is always close at hand, as are fierce irony and total despair.
