Lives and works in Paris.
Olivier Ratsi is a visual artist. His work is mainly based upon representations of space’s perception and the experience of reality.
He developed a creative process based on the deconstruction of space and time. The deconstruction or fragmentation acts mainly as an emotion trigger, which does not aim at showing what things could be, but more at questioning their references.
Its aim is to generate a break with the meaning of the original items, to propose a new viewing angle and to provide the public a new field of experience, another way of looking at space and time.
His works take shape through different artistic fields: photography, digital painting, video, installation volume and performance, which enable to present a creative process each time in different ways.
Olivier Ratsi co-founded “AntiVJ” in 2007, a “visual label” specialized in audiovisual projections, architectural performances and light installations.

My work essentially revolves around representations of the perception of the world and the experience of reality through static and animated pictures.
My creation process is based on the deconstruction of spatiotemporal landmarks. The objective is to generate a rupture with the signification of the original elements, suggesting a new point of view and providing the audience with a new experience, another conception of space and time.
My artist’s work is shaped through various media: photography, digital painting, video, three-dimensional installations and vjing. 
I’m also part of the visual label AntiVJ whose main field of research is the influence of light on our perception of space through the use of video-projected light onto three-dimensional installations.
