Visual artist, choreographer, writer and director, Jan Fabre has
been one of the most influential figures on the European scene for
over twenty years. His provocative forays into all different art
forms are aimed at breaking down the artistic and moral barriers of
his times. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of Fabre's
works at the MAXXI in Rome, the monograph brings together, for the
first time, the action art and performances of the Belgian artist
from the 70s to the present: drawings, "thinking models", collages,
films, photos and other documentation that lay the groundwork for a
rediscovery of dozens of Fabre's performances and interventions,
both public and private, held in Belgium and abroad. The extreme,
even brazen exploration of the human body, which frequently
scandalizes viewers, is linked to the idea of metamorphosis, which
Fabre may have derived from that passion for the sciences he
inherited from his great-grandfather, the esteemed entomologist
Jean-Henri Fabre. Jan Fabre has devoted much of his career to
studying the human body and its transfiguration, central themes in
his work; the artist considers performance art a "per-for-a(c)tion"
of the body with respect to the outer world: a way to explore its
limits, actions and reactions, both inside and out.
