Mihai Grecu est originaire du sud de la Transylvanie en Roumanie, né en 1981 dans la ville de Sebes. Oscillant entre cinéma, art video et creations en images de synthese, son imagerie singulière met en oeuvre, dans une atmosphère déshumanisée, des visions oniriques traversées par des allegories politiques, des objets parasitaires, architectures modifiées et personnages-symboles. Son travail est montré dans des nombreux festivals de film (Rotterdam, Nouveau Cinéma Montréal…) et expositions (“Dans la nuit, des images” au Grand Palais, “Labyrinth of my mind” au Cube, “Studio” à la Galerie Les filles du Calvaire, etc).
Mihai Grecu was born in Romania in 1981. After studying art and design in Romania and France, he has been pursuing his artistic research at the Fresnoy Studio of Contemporary Arts. Recurring topics such as environmental crysis, political allegories, new technologies and catastrophes articulate the whole of his exploration of mysterious and subconscious beginnings. These visual and poetic trips mix several techniques and may be seen as propositions for a new dream oriented technology. His work hes been shown and awarded in numerous film festivals (Tribeca, Locarno, Rotterdam, Festival of New Cinema in Montreal) and exhibitions (“Dans la nuit, des images” at the Grand Palais, “Labyrinth of my mind” at the Cube, “Video Short list: the Dream Machine” at the Passage du Retz, “Studio” at “Les Filles du Calvaire” Gallery).
