Guillaume Bautista is a video and visual artist. His work revolves around several axes: installation (interactive, video), sculpture and live performance (theatre, dance, circus). For the company G. Bistaki, each performance offers new proposals in situ. Architectural video creation, mapping, video trompe l’oeil or installation become tools for making sense of the universes that we pass through, allowing the spectator to further pursue the magic of the show.
