Fabrice Samyn. I am?
“The question of identity is at the heart of the multidisciplinary work of Belgian artist Fabrice Samyn (born in 1981). With painting, sculpture, drawing, writing and choreography, he explores the multiple ways of being of the living, of time and of things. The way in which they transform, interact and shape each other. This book is the first monograph devoted to the artist. Organised in a rhizome thanks to various games of analogy (form, sign, meaning), it gives the full measure of a work that is both conceptual and intimate, spiritual and sensual. A work that attempts the perilous exercise of the coincidence of opposites, without there ever being any question of aligning what differentiates them. The book, amply illustrated, benefits from contributions by Vinciane Despret, philosopher of science and professor at the University of Liège, Wivine de Traux, author and art historian, and Pascal Rousseau, author and professor of contemporary art history at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.”
