“I am flabbergasted 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.” Olivier de Sagazan
At first painter and sculptor, Olivier is more and more working in the living arts (performance, dance, theater). He has since made more than 300 performances in twenty different countries. His performances have led to numerous collaborations with artists from the world of fashion, cinema and music, such as :
- Ron Frick for Samsara
- FKA Twigs for the immersive project ROOMS
- Mylène Farmer for her music video A l’Ombre
- Nick Knight and Gareth Pugh for the fashion film This is not show
- Mario Sorrenti for the movie Discarnate
- Nick Antosca for the series Channel Zero
- Bartosz Konopka for the movie The Mute
- Qiu Yang for “O” VR film produced by Hou Hsiao-Hsien
