David Larcher

David Larcher was born in London in 1942. He studied anthropology and archaeology at Cambridge for three years and then moved to the Royal College of Art, Department of Film and Television.

He is considered one of the founding fathers of British avant-garde film and was known primarily as an abstract film artist in the late 1960s before being invited to the 'Semaine de la Critique' in Cannes in 1971 with Mare's Taiil and to the very first 'Forum' in Berlin. From 1969-74 he travelled with a converted truck and lived in Dordogne from 1975-80.

In the early 1980s he discovered video art and went to Berlin in 1983 on a DAAD scholarship. While he initially produced his tapes for Channel 4, since the 1990s he has been one of the artists invited by the Centre International de Création Vidéo (CICV) in Montbeliard to realise their works in their high-tech studios.
