Youri Visser-Benazeraf

Born in Paris in 1988, Youri Visser-Benazeraf lives and works in Berlin.

Self-taught visual artist, he had to deal with an extremely precarious childhood, and it was in a context of chaos that he began to create with almost nothing (bits of fabric or rope). These events set the stage for what would become his main themes of reflection: repair and linkage. 

For more than ten years he has been conducting extensive research into the connection between materials, reduction of gesture, composition, and the meaning of repair across the metaphysical spectrum.

A body of work deeply linked to post-minimalism, arte povera and conceptual art.
