Gabriel Cautain (b. 1997, France) lives and works in London.

His practice explores the interaction between time and identity, emphasizing how everyday experiences shape both individual and collective narratives. Through installations and a photography-based approach, he questions the limits of visibility and memory, seeking to reveal points of tension between the intimate and the collective. By using ordinary objects, he reflects on the fluid nature of identity and its connection to time.
