Pierrick Sorin makes visual short films in which he makes fun of human existence and artistic creation in a burlesque manner.

A fervent practitioner of self-filming, he is often the only actor in the stories he invents. But the artist is also a child of Méliès: in particular he creates small "optical theatres", blends of ingenious craftsmanship and new technologies, enabling him to appear among real objects in the form of a small hologram.
The character we discover through this portrait makes a mockery of the world around him by casting himself in caricature form. Via public orders, like the one in which we see the creation for the future museum of the city of Nantes, or via the creation of a shoe shop window, he manages to recount the fragility of human mechanisms. In Sorin's work, distress and derision exist alongside lightness.
