Publisher's Synopsis
Following a series of exhibitions held between 2010 and 2012, this is a monograph dedicated to the Swiss artist Denis Savary. Spanning a wide range of media, from drawing to video, performing arts to sculpture, is work fictionalises fragments of art and literature, and deals with historical figures such as Max Ernst, Oskar Kokoschaka, Félix Vallotton, and Lautréamont. Savary's practice weaves narratives steeped in childhood fantasies and adult phantasmagoria, notably through a vision of exhibition as a domestic place that the spectator can inhabit.
