Aurélien Froment has developed his practice through a deviant interest in cinematic experimentation. Following intensive research, his works channel collective and individual histories and ideas of concrete utopias, tracing their origins and circulation through to the present day. From films conceived as small theatres (The Apse, the Bell and the Antelope, 2005), to large-scale photographic installations (Théâtre optique, 2023), his work has been presented in institutions internationally including at Les Rencontres de la photographie (2023), Centre Pompidou (2022), Institut pour la photographie (2021), Wellcome Collection (2019), M Museum (2017), Dakar Biennale (2016), Sydney Biennale (2014), Venice Biennale (2013), and Gwangju Biennale (2010).
