FABIEN SOUCHE

In many ways a descendent of Dada, I think that the apparent simplicity of my universe is the result of a reflection expressed in minute detail. I look, filter my artistic and political environment, observe the broad contemporary themes very precisely, and like to play with references. I try to leave behind facile aesthetics to show the bare idea, or at least the idea in its most simple expression—with just enough material for it to exist entirely. The resulting objects mix together derision, extravagance, and black humor.
