Zine Andrieu grew up in a succession of working-class neighbourhoods in France. A series of serendipitous encounters and ruptures led him into a world he knew nothing about: contemporary art. And so, in 2017, he moved to Bordeaux to enrol at the Beaux-Arts, from which he graduated with a DNSEP in 2022. Since then, his work has explored cultural clashes and the tensions between popular heritage and artistic legitimacy. He produces hybrid forms—installations, performances, videos and sound pieces—  that speak of intimate and collective experiences, aspirations and fragments of everyday life. His deeply layered works function like spaces to be deciphered, in which multiple languages coexist: references to manga, video games, social networks, religion, but also to the myths, stories and beliefs that circulate in the neighbourhoods.
