Pierre Bismuth

Brussels-based, French artist Pierre Bismuth's work plays with modes of perception through the interruption of received codes of reading seemingly innocuous and self-evident everyday images and objects such as headlines, film, and the built environment.

Bismuth's work has been shown at Christine König Galerie (Vienna), Team Gallery (New York), Jan Mot (Brussels), Mary Boone Gallery (New York), Cosmic Galerie (Paris), Gallery Erna Hacey (Brussels), the Villa Arson (Nice) and Lisson Gallery (London). In 2005 he won the best original screenplay at the 77th Academy Awards along with Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman for the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
