Visual artist, Antoine Schmitt creates artworks in the form of objects, installations and situations to address the processes of movement and question their intrinsic problematics, of plastic, philosophical or social nature.

It has been exhibited among others at the Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), at Sonar (Barcelona), at the CAC of Sienna (Italy) and in several Nuits Blanches (Paris, Bruxelles, Madrid, Metz, Amiens).
