Jérôme Chazeix is a french-german artist in residency at USF. He present the result of his residency in a performance installation
By considering the hipster trends and the disappearance of the value of the image and the culture in an internet stream, Chazeix created prints for a fashion collection with leggings, vest tops, bomber jackets and caps. With new textile works, video and music - this collection will be staged in a poetical powerful performance.
Jérôme Chazeix’ s works are contemporary syntheses of the arts (Gesamtkunstwerke). The focus of his artistic oeuvre lies in the combination of different media and their cross-references. Sculptures, videos, music and costumes are preferred elements of his artistic work and its installations, environments and performances. The interplay and the fusion of these disciplines results in a complex scenario. Performances, which form part of the whole concept, are frequently executed in the installations and permanently presented as videos.
