David Bergé is a multidisciplinary artist based between Athens and Brussels. His works transform everyday life and objects into time- and book-based forms that are often participatory. He is the artistic director of the experimental publishing project PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPANDED PUBLISHING ATHENS.
Bergé is best known for his work Walk Pieces. These immersive experiences ask the audiences to join the artist for a walk in silence, bringing attention and awareness to the physical, social, and climatic conditions of urban space, exposing hidden power structures and social wounds at times closed, often still open.
Having taken material writing and publishing as a centrepiece of his recent work, Bergé founded the publishing project PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPANDED PUBLISHING ATHENS, which currently produces the imprints kyklàda.press and Time Based Editions, as well as several books co-published with Spector Books and Jap Sam Books, among others. The work produced centers around the archaeology of moods and emotions, presenting an ongoing exploration of the human experience and its relationship with the built environment.
