Valère Terrier (US)

work

still from: Frying pan

Valère Terrier’s work embraces all disciplines related to image and movement: photo, experimental video, performance, theater, dance and music video. Fascinated by natural and urban landscapes, he began his career by directing a series of documentaries about extreme sports while creating experimental videos and films. He also works as a VJ in prestigious Parisian and Chinese night-clubs, using the dance-floor as an experimental field that allows him to test his own video effects directly on the audience. In 2005, he spent a year in New York, where he discovered contemporary dance and explored the subtleties of movement. Using an original photographic approach, he aimed at capturing the dancers’ emotion and sensuality, sublimated by light and minimalist decorating.
