Histoires du jour et de la nuit, 2017
Performance and installation
Jean-Christophe Norman here creates an immersive space by covering the walls of the gallery with word collages and mosaics: words of his own, and of others. The installation can be seen as a rumination on the passing of time—and as an incitement to seize the present moment.
The artist would like to thank Béatrice Josse, Sylvie Zavatta, Harue Muryama, Bernd Asmus, Tsutomu Mizusawa, Pascal Neveux, Madeleine Bettschart, Duc-Hanh Luong, Patrice Joly, Hélène Guenin, and Simon Rees.

Jean-Christophe Norman
(Besancon, France)
Jean-Christophe Norman has shown his work at numerous exhibitions—both solo and group—all over the world. He was also invited to give performances in several cities such as Tokyo, Istanbul and Paris. In 2012, Les presses du réel published a first monograph on the artist’s career. Two years later, in 2014, the Fonds régional d’art contemporain (FRAC) in Franche-Comté held the first retrospective exhibition of his works. Norman’s work is in several private and public collections in particular in that of the FRAC.
