Audio explanation
Listen to Geoffrey Lillemon discuss this work.
Geoffrey Lillemon constantly defines new aesthetics and visionary ideas, driving a strong, future-minded approach to his art. The Amsterdam-based artist has a profoundly personal approach to using CGI and media art, which translates into unexpected expressions and commentary on the human condition – human life, mortality and anything in between.
His collaborations with pop stars, commercial clients, museums, galleries, and theatres, with celebrated results, blur the line between entertainment, media appetites, and art. His work has been acquired by Stedelijk Museum and exhibited by Boijmans van Beuningen. It has been performed at the Museo Tamayo in Mexico City and shown at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. This background has given Geoffrey the unique position to bring digital art to the mega-stages of global music acts.
