Artist Biography
Deborah Sfez (b. 1964) is a multidisciplinary, internationally recognized artist working in Cote-d’Ivoire and France. Her tools are photography, moving image, and filmed performance accompanied by her written texts and her original composed music and sound. Her atypical path began with studies of English and French literature and language, before learning the trades of Fashion and Theatre Costumes in Paris. She uses all these different and various knowledges and skills in her artistic research and works. Deborah does not call herself a poet, photographer, or actor: She only uses all these ways of expression to fully communicate with her audience and create a total emotion in her viewer. Her work mainly deals with the pressing, and constant contemporary preoccupation with identity as a private or a collective issue, with political, national, or historical aspects and attachments.
