Victor Unwin (b. 1994 in Pontoise, France) is an artist based in Paris, France. He began his career as a filmmaker and artistic director for various creative agencies, music labels and brands, mainly focusing on arts, fashion, music, and luxury. In 2020 he shifted to a more personal artistic practice, based on video experimentations, nonlinear narratives, acousmatic compositions and research-based sculptural production.
From a series of reality-fiction videos recorded on old VHS tapes, to a set of photographs engraved on black anodized aluminum slabs, Unwin finds meaning in the production processes of his works, waging materials as non-neutral sensorial links. In a dialogue between DIY techniques and new technologies, found footage and personal images, he develops an eclectic set of works aiming to tell stories and share feelings in unconventional ways.
Roaming in the exurban beliefs of rootlessness, palingenesis, and the constant development of protocol systems scrying his own notion of gaps and margins, Unwin symbolically charges the elements he uses as a reorganization of his visible field.
Complementarily to his practice and in a way to keep record of his experimentations, Unwin has been developing an editorial approach through books, zines and other experimental editorial objects.
