Fabrice Gygi

Fabrice Gygi’s installations, which are always nomadic and impalpable, can be taken down in a trice, they often sound out the image of authority and its many different forms of power. At the CAN, pursuing his line of thought about the structures of socialisation and coercion in our society, the artist showed a major, large work that pertinently extended his questioning of the notion of territory Moveable protective shields, stands and bars in grey-green fabrics, wire netting, loudspeakers… is all this apparatus for use by a repressive system or a resistance network ?
