Challenging the Nature of Perception

Central to Poincheval's work is an exploration of the nature of perception. He uses light, sound, and movement to create illusions that question our ability to trust our own senses. In his installation, "The Cloud," for example, viewers are immersed in a dense fog that obscures their vision and creates an eerie sense of unease. By disrupting their familiar sensory experiences, Poincheval encourages viewers to re-examine the world around them.

Pushing the Limits of Performance Art

Poincheval's artistic practice also includes performance art, which he uses to explore the limits of the human body and endurance. In his performance, "The Walk," he walked for seven days and nights without sleep, covering a distance of over 1,000 kilometers. Through such extreme physical challenges, Poincheval invites viewers to confront their own limitations and question the boundaries of human possibility.
