Fictitious portrait of the Flemish artist Jan Fabre, based on his diary, his visual works and his performances.
The film—a modern fairy tale—projects Jan Fabre into his own imaginative universe and composes a character who changes ceaselessly identity, plays numerous roles under the most varied disguises; behind a mask, still another mask… The female character, like a ‘demon of passage’ using different faces, haunts the male character and inspires his metamorphoses, ad infinitum.
Film-maker and visual artist. Lives in Paris. Pierre Coulibeuf develops a cross-disciplinary project: he makes experimental fictions that skilfully invest the sphere of art and in which changes of identity affect the universes and artists inspiring his works. His films are shown in cinemas as well as, recomposed, in the form of installations (video-photo) in museums. Coulibeuf’s works are part of main public collections. The main concepts of his works are doubling, simulacrum, metamorphosis, labyrinth, reality as fiction or mental projection. His films include: “Balkan Baroque” (99), “Les Guerriers de la beauté” (02), “Somewhere in between” (04), “A Magnetic Space” (08)
