Pierre Bismuth speaks about his production:

Pierre Bismuth uses his artistic practice as a tool to examine our perception of reality, especially regarding our relation to cultural productions. His procedures seem to follow the laws of entropy by creating effects of constant transformation, spontaneous change or finding ways of spending the “useless” energy of a system. The underlying aim of these strategies is always the same — to destabilize pre-established codes of perception by sabotaging the very logic of his material and to push the viewer to develop critical ideas when presented with cultural objects whose meaning seem obvious. Bismuth has exhibited his works extensively throughout Europe, and North America. He earned an Academy Award in 2005 for co-authoring the screenplay Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. One of Bismuth’s works is screened in a film programme curated by Hanne Mugaas entitled Extended Animation: Digital Effects, Corporate Logos and Style. This programme is one of three film programmes in the exhibition Animotion at Galleri F15, from 1 September to 11 November.
