Franck Scurti's practice positions itself at the intersection of everyday reality and its representations, drawing on the visual language produced by consumer society and urban civilization. Rooted in the legacies of conceptual art and Fluxus poetry, which taught him "to watch objects, to analyse them, to lose them in themselves, and then to reappraise them", his work engages with aesthetical, historical and economic stakes as much as with things and events. Objects often derived from our domestic and urban environment are treated as "already socialised elements": recomposed, shifted, and submitted to the artist's wanderings, they require the viewer to re-decode a familiar but subtly altered world.

Still a student when one of his earliest exhibitions, Plan B, was presented in the Galeries Contemporaines of the Centre Pompidou in 1993, Scurti has since shown internationally in solo exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2002, 2019), MAMCO, Geneva (2014), and the Musée d'art moderne et contemporain, Strasbourg (2011), among others. A major monograph was published by Flammarion and the Centre national des arts plastiques in 2019.
