Born in 1970 in France, lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. Director, author, performer, David Gheron Tretiakoff is particularly interested in the evolutions of politics and social life not as historical facts but as paradigm of logic of historical rewriting, like a kind of “international novel”. Questioning the idea of objective documentation and the intermediation of such complex subjects, his work oscillates between documentary, experimental film, graphic work and is attached to the concept of image in the broad sense.

Destruction in the process of constituting the image becomes central, staging the crisis of representation (aesthetic, ideological, sexual, social) through the enhancement of phenomena of degradation, alteration and disappearance, going as far as a possible annihilation of the work and the memory it carries. The work then becomes, through its fragility (burnt papers and digital files) less a symbolic «object» than a trace, a sign, a clue... This pictorial anthropophagic work reveals several contemporary «ruins»: those produced by attacks on memory by successive morals and beliefs, those produced by multiple economic and societal crises and their corollaries such as the inevitable environmental crises.
