Christine Rebet

Christine Rebet was born in 1971 in Lyon, France. After studying at the Art Academy in Venice (painting and scenography), she moved to Central St. Martins, London (Theatre Design) graduating in 1996. With a background in stage design and choreography, Rebet has actively collaborated professionally in both fields.

In the beautifully animated short film Soul hunter, 2003, enigmatic motifs like coffee tables and gas stations recur as a tiny goblin-man silently absorbs, engulfs, and digests all kinds of Liquids. Like the drawings, Soul hunter taps into childhood anxieties, but there's a tender humor just beneath the surface. (by Eva Scharrer, Critics' Picks, "Artforum" , January 2003)

Rebet's works are enigmatic, sometimes humorous and surrealistic. She explores the symbols and metaphors of the unconscious and how memory gaps are created and maintained. Through her installations, Rebet unravels contrasting stories in order to better understand the imagination.
