Jean-Gabriel Périot's formative years were characterized by an intense and prolonged exploration of the dark rooms, where he spent an considerable amount of time diligently honing his skills and cultivating his creative inclinations, allowing his artistic talents to flourish and mature.
As the years went by, Périot's intellectual curiosity continued to unfold, his fascination with archives, whether visual or auditory, and historical narratives gradually taking center stage. The prestigious Center Georges Pompidou, where he had the privilege of working, proved to be a turning point in his journey, as he discovered the immense possibilities offered by archival images. This vast treasure trove of material allowed him to craft innovative visual narratives that seamlessly blended the past with the present, his creative vision expertly weaving together disparate threads to form a rich tapestry of historical significance.
Prior to venturing into the realm of filmmaking, Périot embarked on a distinct path, initially delving into the world of education, where he not only honed his teaching skills but also creatively expressed himself through the medium of contemporary art, crafting innovative installations that showcased his artistic prowess.
