Benjamin Bardou

Benjamin Bardou (b. 1981) is a French artist whose work explores the forms and dynamics of memory through digital images. Rooted in a background in visual arts and visual effects, his practice unfolds at the intersection of cinema, painting, and artificial intelligence.

He approaches memory not as a fixed archive, but as a fluid and unstable process — a space where images persist, transform, and reconfigure over time. The city becomes a site of inscription, where layers of lived and imagined experiences accumulate, overlap, and resurface.

His work focuses on transitions, thresholds, and states of emergence, seeking to reveal memory as a continuous movement rather than a stable representation. Through the use of point clouds, volumetric video, and generative imagery, he constructs environments in which images appear as shifting traces — constantly forming, fading, and recomposing within the flow of perception.
