Biography and Filmography

Born in 1998, lives and works in Paris. With an audiovisual technician background, he went on to study at the Cergy art school and then at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. Nathan Ghali’s artistic practice revolves around video, photography and 3D. The themes of his work are drawn from his personal history: childhood memories, things seen and experienced, difficulties in communicating. He transforms and modifies this raw material in works that blend storytelling and self-fiction. He creates with the help of new technologies, notably 3D, which interests him for the new ways of creating images it enables. Born in the age of the Internet, the artist plays on the porous boundaries between reality and virtuality, tracking down places and forms of authenticity amidst artifice. Image banks and 3D models play an important role in his artistic approach. He searches them for specific elements, but it’s the spontaneous encounters with these objects that are sometimes at the origin of certain projects and reflections.
