“My work starts where and when the archaeologists left off”
Gaillard is untroubled by either hopes for a grand future or nostalgia for a heroic past, and he puts before us landscapes and ruins that carry the imprint of conflicting imaginations and desires: individualistic, collective or state-instituted. To this he adds his own layers of evocative and provocative framing and montage. And he challenges us to appreciate our surrounding in all its strange beauty and in full awareness and appreciation of its unresolved contradictions.
