BIO

Gabriel Lecup (France, 1984) is a sound and visual artist currently based in Barcelona. He has lived in Nepal, Vietnam, France, Argentina, Belgium, Chile and Spain. He studied sound engineering and philosophy.

His work explores the underlying mechanisms of identity constructs: what does it mean to be someone rather than someone else or no-one at all? His installations and performances are dispositives designed to question, alter or cancel the perception of the self, deeply rooted in his childhood in Asia and often using technology against itself. Some of his recurring thematics include autofiction, public expiation, mnemonic processes, oriental mysticism, family mythology, fortune telling, trans-personal permutations and cognitive sublimation.

His works have been presented in venues and festivals in Spain, Corea, Belgium, UK, Italy, France and Argentina. He has received grants and residencies at Konvent (Berga), Nau Estruch (Sabadell), Hangar (Barcelona), Les Mariniers (Brussels) and Trinity Laban (London). He also develops software for other artists and theatre projects, teaches about tech and art, performs as a VJ and is co-founder of the immersive projection system for healthcare company Broomx Technologies.
