Francois Robert spent hundreds of hours to create this artwork. He purchased a human skeleton in the mid-90’s, during an auction from an old school and he called this work Stop the violence.

Japanese artist Fumie Sasabuchi uses the image and idea of death to explore body and its surface, creating a series of hybrid images in which promotional aesthetic is fused with material naturalistic anatomical study.

Born in 1983, Emeric Lhuisset grew up in Paris suburb. Graduated in art (Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris) and in geopolitics (University Panthéon-Sorbonne / Ecole Normale Supérieure Ulm), he currently teaches at Institute of Political Studies of Paris and he is co-director of the seminar contemporary art & geopolitics. Member of research group “Art&Flux”, today he lives and works between Middle East and Paris.

Working around current affairs, just like a journalist, he approaches his artistic work with extensive investigation in the media as well as the zones concerned by the problems he is studying. He travels around the globe to experience places where many don’t dare go to. By doing so, he prepares the ground without anyone noticing at first for a reflection and questioning of the world we live in.
