Yves Hayat
Geboren in Ägypten, entdeckt Yves Hayat 1956 seine neue Heimat in Frankreich. Von 1966 bis 1971 studiert er an der „National School of Arts“ in Nice-French Riviera. 1973 entscheidet er sich, in die Werbung zu gehen. Die Arbeit mit neuen Technologien prägt auch sein späteres künstlerisches Wirken. Im Jahre 1990 wendet sich Hayat wieder der bildenden Kunst zu und profitiert von seinen Wissen und den Fotografien aus der Zeit als Werbedesigner. Heute lebt und arbeitet er zwischen seinem einstigen Studienort Nice-French Riviera und Paris.
“I admit that I’m more interest in manipulating reality than in recording it. My artwork between photography, installation and “Figuration narrative” proposes visions where theatricalization is a part of the project. I am a total visual consumer: I film, download, scan, retouch…. as the director of a new reality. Using superimpositions, shifts, misappropriations, I confront past and present, beauty and horror, indifference and fanaticism. Through a questioning about the art/ politic/ media relations, I try to conceive a critical art work where the attraction for the culture of media, cinema and advertising shows through. Using modern techniques, my work propose a report of what our history and our society have thought, generated, transformed, destroyed… while always keeping in mind that when the work of Art creates unrest, it evacuates the common place”.
