Loading Error video shows us a character stuck in a loading bar. This interface has become an architecture constraining the character into perpetual waiting. The human then fights against filling this bar and against time.

In his drawings, animations and installations, Vincent Broquaire shares a world as poetic as it is ironic, calling into question the underside of our daily routines and technology’s impact on our lives. Using precise, minimalist strokes, he presents humans who, armed with their devices, adjust, move, magnify, maintain, unveil, enlarge  or remove each part of their own decor. With a perspective that is both considered and offbeat,  Vincent Broquaire tackles the increasingly narrow space between reality and (science) fiction.

Vincent Broquaire has fun putting our brains on the grill with a no-frills style and straight-to-the-line compositions. Without seeming to touch it, while mixing burlesque and poetry, he plants upside down a setting where Mother Nature is damn blackballed by human machinery and by the sufficiency of digital technologies. At Broquaire, to remove a landscape, just press the button, to lift mountains, just a rope, a hook and a helicopter, to change the season, just change attach. At his house, we clean the globe like the table on great evenings, by removing the tablecloth; we move the islands like we transplant lettuce, with a shovel. Here, connected devices become sacred guzzlers that gobble up everything, even trees. But what does it matter provided we have the photo! Half-hearted smile like in some bittersweet tales.
