3. Gilles Cenazandotti was born in 1966, in Bastia, Corsica. He lives and works between Paris and Morsiglia, Cap Corse. Gilles Cenazandotti develops a reflection on the future of our planet and the evolution of our lifestyles that approaches science fiction, a universe necessary to the survival of man and species. His work attempts to show a complex, enigmatic nature, a technological paroxysm where man tries to imitate nature through artificial recreation. http://anti-utopias.com/art/gilles-cenazandotti-future-bestiary/
