Jean-Gabriel Periot

*1974. Lives and works in Paris, France.

Jean-Gabriel Périot has directed numerous short movies, both in video and film. He builts, often from existing archives – photographs, films, internet files – a work of reflection on the polymorphic status of violence in our societies. Everything goes through the power of images, without speech, without comment: a thought-cinema.
