The Man Who Was Everywhere

Coincidence 1

By Laurence Payot - 8th June, 2011

I was delighted to be chosen to take part in Longhouse Action Research programme 2010-2011. After 5 years of working as an artist since my graduation, I feel this is the right time to look back, analyse what is really important for me within my work, understand how I place myself within the bigger picture and how my work can have an impact on current social, political, and cultural issues.

In my work, I create what I call “short-circuits” in the public realm, in order to propose new ways of experiencing daily routines and everyday environments.

Audiences’ reaction is at the heart of my practice, and each project takes on the best suited form to create the desired reactions in response to a given context. This led me to develop a wide range of artforms, from physical objects (I Thought It Was Real), to ephemeral interventions and performances (The Man Who Was Everywhere). Most of my works tend to create ‘mysterious’ situations, leading viewers to communicate to try and solve this ‘bug in perception’, and producing small communities united by the experience of a moment.

More information about my work is available on www.laurencepayot.com. See above a video of The Man Who Was Everywhere.
