DIDIER FIÚZA FAUSTINO (Chennevières-sur-Marne, France, 1968). "Fairy tales", 2012. White melamine board and acrylic box, copy 2/3. Provenance: Michel Rein Gallery. Measurements: 170 x 130 x 12,5 cm. In this 2012 proposal, one can appreciate the multidisciplinary training of this French artist, whose work often resists to be qualified within the field of sculpture, painting, installation or design. The letters of "Fairy Tale" have been cut out and outlined on a white surface leaving a hole of visual uncertainty. The characters fall strategically on the ground, decayed, as if giving us to understand the difficulty of maintaining the illusion of childhood during maturity. Didier Fiúza Faustino is a French-Portuguese artist-architect who works on the relationship between body and space. At the crossroads of art and architecture, his practice is multifaceted and ranges from installation to experimentation, from the creation of subversive visual artworks to multisensory spaces. Her projects are characterized by their critical perspective and their ability to offer new experiences to the individual and collective body. With Mésarchitecture (2002) in Paris and his office in Lisbon (2018), he develops projects of multiple scales: interventions in public space, mobile architectures, as well as interior and building designs, including the studio of French artist Jean-Luc Moulène. Several projects and works are part of the collection of important institutions: MoMA, Fondation Calouste Gulbenkian, Fundação Serralves, Fonds National d'Art Contemporain, Musée National d'Art Moderne / Centre Georges Pompidou, MAXXI, MAAT, FRACs Centre - Val de Loire et Grand Large - Hauts de France. He is represented by the galleries Michel Rein Paris / Brussels and Filomena Soares, Lisbon.
