Hugo Arcier

Trained in 3D graphic arts at the Supinfocom school (Valenciennes) - in both technical and artistic aspects - in 2001 he passed his digital filmmaking diploma. Dedicating himself to feature film special effects, he had the opportunity to work on many projects, for prestigious directors such as Roman Polanski, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, François Ozon or Cédric Khan. This professional activity helped him to gain a detailed knowledge of digital tools and computer-generated images in particular. At the same time, he had always felt the need to develop personal projects. He is the director of over ten short films/art films which have been shown at many festivals and exhibited in galleries. His first exhibition in a space dedicated to contemporary art took place in 2004 at the Artcore gallery (Paris). Since then, his videos have been exhibited in several art spaces or galleries: at Le Cube (Issy-les-Moulineaux), the Galerie Magda Danysz (Paris), the ADN Gallery (Spain), etc. He has directed several promo videos (for Wax Tailor, Rita Mitsouko, Motor). In these films, he tries to follow the style that he developed in his personal projects. In his commercial projects, he strives towards the same goals and ambitions as in his personal projects. He takes care in extracting the best of both worlds: the technical rigour of the professional world and the taste for experimentation and the (genuine) innovation of the art world.
