Benjamin Richard-Foy, aka Ben Richard, is a visual designer born in Bordeaux in 1982. He came to Brussels in 2004 and began his artistic career as a DJ. It is during these concerts that he realised the importance of scenography, more specifically the pairing of sounds with images. Over the years, he will vary techniques and visual experiences. After an artistic residency in 2021 at the AKAR collective, Ben Richard researched sound and image archives. In his performance Figures of the past and technologies of the present, Ben Richard will play, transform, assemble and use these archives as fragments in his performance.
