Stéphane Ibars Editor & Author

Vik Muniz was born in 1961 in São Paulo. His artistic approach involves taking images from art history, the media and reality and manipulating them. With commonplace day-to-day materials, such as chocolate, crystals, pigments or dust, the artist reconstructs the original image in his own way, based on memory, before photographing it and thus severing the connection of the work to its origins. Stéphane Ibars is responsible for public relations, press and cultural programmes at the Collection Lambert, Avignon.
