>>15432720>>15432712Cliff CHAN is a French artist who lives and works in Lille (FR).
First a photographer, he chooses to turn to the poetry of intimacy.
It is with his first projects “DIARY’s” that he focuses on the importance of identity, the quest for oneself and his body. Adorned with moments of lives printed on film, it is above all sensations that are discussed here.
His images, as if taken from the film of his life, create a link - like a newspaper - a sensitive vision of his particular story.
Indeed, suffering from an imperfect osteogenesis (the disease of glass bones) a rare genetic disease that has marked his body but especially his experience and sensitivity, the young artist now strives to create works borrowed from this singularity.
He has been turning for a few years to a plural production, made of performative acts and plastic experiments.
It is by exploring the idea of the trace of time on existence that he hopes to create resilience in everyone. An echo of his heavy past.
By his practice he wishes to give a new meaning to this apparent defect.
As if to mark the uniqueness of his being, it is in the desire to capture beauty within an imperfection that his artistic research is situated.
