Triangle-Astérides – Aurélien Potier

A partnership with Belsunce Projects, Marseille.

Aurélien Potier was born in 1992 (FR), he lives and works in Marseille (FR).

Through his practice, Aurélien Potier explores disturbance, resistance, and the abject. Sometimes starting from his own body and digital images, Potier seeks both intimacy and radical otherness. His visuals and texts lie somewhere between vulnerability and cynicism, between comedy and unease.

Aurélien Potier graduated from the Rietveld Academie in 2017. His work has been shown at venues such as Espace Ness (Paris, France), Oude Kerk and SSBA Salon (Amsterdam, Netherlands), Cooper Union (New York, USA), SUB (Çanakkale, Turkey), Sissi Club, and Voiture 14 (Marseille).
