Artist Talk - Cyprien Gaillard

Capital Theatre in city is a wonderful place. Very classy interior creates true cinema experience of the past.

As part of Melbourne Art Festival, there was a talk by this young Paris born, New York based artist.

I've heard of his name before and seen some of his video works, but, didn't take much notice.
So, I was very looking forward to this opportunity.

Two films really stood out during his talk.
'Pruitt Igoe Falls', and 'City of Gold and Mirrors'.

He put it beautifully what he wanted to achieve, that is, "to romanticise isolated acts of destruction".
