Guillaume Cailleau lives and works as an artist in Berlin and locates himself artistically at the intersection of film installation, performance and sound art, which he likes to combine in expansive installations.
Cailleau studied at the University of the Arts, Berlin.
Cailleau observes where it is politically and socially disruptive: an animal testing lab, a banknote printing plant, or a military uniform factory. Using various media techniques, he works his material to abstraction. At the same time, he captures the research process in the material, shifting the levels of meaning. The forms of his installations then relate directly to their subjects.
His artistic works are shown worldwide in art institutions such as Bangkok Art & Culture Centre, Royal Ontario Museum, House of World Cultures, Centre Pompidou. In addition, his video works are presented at film festivals.In 2014, he won the Silver Bear at the Berlinale with his short film "LABORAT", and in 2016 he won the jury prize at the Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen with his video work "Organ movement for Elmer Kussiac". He regularly collaborates with musicians, directors and choreographers such as W. Dafeldecker, Ensemble Phoenix 16, T. Ostermeier and A.-C. and is one half of the audiovisual performance duo project "Kreuser/Cailleau".
