About
Through video, installation and game design, Elouan Le Bars (1998) explores contemporary forms of staging, play and control. His work examines how virtual environments, gaming culture and shifting labor structures influence the ways we act and narrate ourselves.
Often working with documentary materials—testimonies, sound recordings and archives—he reshapes them through fictional and interactive processes, questioning how narratives are constructed and roles are performed.
He lives and works in Paris.
