Pierre Bismuth is a London-based artist and friend of Michel Gondry. He uses his artistic practice as a tool to examine our perception of reality, especially regarding our relation to cultural productions. With limited means and a lot of humour he aims at destabilising pre-established codes of perception and to push the viewer to develop critical ideas when presented with cultural objects whose meaning seems obvious. He holds the view that it is by creating unexpected shifts in the everyday meaning of things that lead to changes in perceptive habits. Bismuth's only recorded film credits include "I've Been Twelve Forever" (2003, Video - additional videography) and the story for ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2004).  Best Achievement in Writing (Original Screenplay) 2004: ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (story - with Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry) 1 nomination, 1 Award
