“I am not what I am” Iago
“It’s flabbergasting in seeing to what degree people think it is normal to be alive. All my focus is to reveal this strangeness of being in the world and disfigurement in art is one of these ways to reactivate our attention.” Olivier de Sagazan
At first a painter and sculptor, Olivier is more and more working in the living arts (performance, dance, theater). His performances have led to numerous collaborations with artists from the world of cinema, dance, fashion and music, such as :
FKA Twigs

Mario Sorrenti
Ron Frick for Samsara
Sølve Sundsbøfor
