Olivier de Sagazan

Olivier de Sagazan (born 1959 in Brazzaville, Congo) is a French artist, painter, sculptor and performer.[1] His most famous performance “Transfiguration” was created in 1998, with more than 300 performances in 25 countries. In this fascinating performance "Transfiguration", Sagazan changes identities on stage from man to animal and from animal to various hybrid creatures. He pierces, obliterates and unravels the layers on his face in a frenzied search for new essence and form. In this regard he has stated “I am flabbergasted in seeing to what degree people think it’s normal, or even trite, to be alive”. In "Transfiguration" he gives new meaning to the notion of life, offering a captivating, disturbing and stirring glimpse into an alternative selfhood utterly unconstrained by inhibition.
