Cl茅ment Cogitore: Digital Deserts, Evil Eyes and Kids
Cl茅ment Cogitore (*1983 in Colmar) has developed his own unique method half way between cinema and contemporary art. Mixing film, video, installation and photography, his work questions man, his soul and his images from rituals, collective memory, representation of the sacred as well as a notions of the subconscious and unseen.
With the series Digital Desert, 2015, 'the first without human figures', Cogitore shows what is in stake in the transition from the famous 'jungle' weave of brown and khaki military uniforms of the 20th century, to this pixilated motif of the 21st century that scrambles the most sophisticated receptors. Photographed in the Moroccan desert, Cogitore brings to the stage a new camouflage technique called 'digital desert' that allows one to escape not an entrenched enemy anymore but the invisible eye of drones.
