Over 15 years, Nicolas Provost fundamentally changed video art. Nicolas Provost: Dream Machine is the first overview of his work and a visually challenging book, with texts by big names, such as Neville Wakefield and Leo Goldsmith.

Nicolas Provost calls himself a sculptor with film, or a creator of images and sounds. With films like The Plot Point Trilogy and The Invader, Nicolas Provost has built an impressive oeuvre.
