Cyprien Gaillard (born 1980 in Paris) is a contemporary French artist whose work explores themes of memory, ruin and urbanism. He uses a variety of media, including photography, video, sculpture and performance. His work focuses on the traces left by man in the environment, in particular the processes of decay and transformation of urban spaces. His series, such as "Real Remnants of Fictive Wars" and "Believe in the Age of Disbelief", mix fiction and reality, and question the relationship between past and present. Awarded the Prix Marcel-Duchamp in 2010, Gaillard is recognized for his ability to question the effects of time and the mutations of landscapes. He is represented by Gladstone in New York and Sprüth Magers in Berlin.
