Laurent Montaron

Published in 2022 by Mousse Magazine and Publishing, this monograph serves as a comprehensive survey of the artistic practice of French artist Laurent Montaron. Known for his interest in the mechanics of perception and the historical evolution of media technologies, Montaron creates works that frequently examine how tools like film, photography, and clocks shape our understanding of time and reality. The book compiles a diverse selection of his installations, photographs, and moving image works, placing them within the intellectual framework of his research-based approach.

The design of the volume reflects Mousse Magazine's commitment to clean, academic aesthetics often found in contemporary art documentation. By grouping Montaron's elusive, often minimalist works into a printed format, the publisher provides a necessary context for his exploration of the ephemeral and the obsolete. The collection is well-regarded among collectors of contemporary art literature for its ability to preserve the atmosphere of Montaron’s gallery installations, which frequently challenge the viewer's sense of duration and stillness.
