Cartes blanches #2 CAS DE FIGURE

How do the different narratives that our society produces around the figure of the artist impact on us? To explore this question, journalist Nina Bombyx has created the ‘Cas de Figure’ concept, a programme that invites artists to test the distance between themselves and their work. This time, it’s a pop star who’s come to try the experiment: the interview will provoke a succession of questions. When the lines become blurred between the artist, the public and the work, we come to wonder about the intimate and extimate links between these three entities.
