Biography

Since the 1980s, Ange Leccia has used pre-existing materials in his work on the moving image as well his reflections on the object. Through video and sculpture, the artist has developed "arrangements", by means of processes of superposition and confrontation, in order to obtain "the right point in the relationship between things". Ange Leccia is an advocate of the practice of 'manipulation', for both objects and images; he strips them of their function for the sake of a poetic questioning of their meaning and the way in which they reflect the society that uses them.
