Jésus Baptista

Born in 1992 in Montfermeil (France)

Born in 1992, lives and works in Paris. 

Graduating as a member of the 2022–2024 cohort at Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains. In June 2016 he obtained a Higher National Diploma in Visual Expression from the Haute École des arts du Rhin, specialising in Visual Didactics. This option places artistic mediation at the heart of his thinking. 

Since then he has worked as a freelance video artist in Paris, with the medium of video at the centre of his concerns: what was once a broadcast medium becomes a plastic material. He has presented immersive installations at Nuit blanche in Paris, the Ososphère festival in Strasbourg, the Sélestat contemporary art biennial, the Constellations international festival in Metz, the SAT (Société des arts technologiques) in Montreal, the House of Electronic Arts Basel, the Athens Digital Arts Festival and the CDSA prize in Hangzhou, China.
