Pierre Rovere

French-born Canadian multidisciplinary artist Pierre Rovere has been involved in a large number of disciplines: experimental filmmaking, but also video art, installations, performing arts, conceptual art, photography, and graphic arts. After studying cinema in Paris, he was one of the co-founders of the Paris Films Coop in 1974, with Claudine Eizykman and Guy Fihman, and the author and director of a dozen experimental films between 1972 and 1981. Digital techniques have been one of his main focuses as early as the 70's. In the early 80s, he moved to Montreal, Quebec, where he has had a most varied career in the Canadian avant-garde. After a three-decade hiatus, his focus is now shifting for the most part to photography, as he merges back together his former artistic practices.
