Jot Fau

In her polymorphic work, Jot Fau (Ieper, 1987) combines sculpture, installation, objects, clothing, textile and performance. Jot fills a space by installing objects on the wall, the floor or the ceiling, and redefines the conventions of presentation. The boundaries between art and everyday life no longer exist in her work, which breaks out of the usual shackles to recreate another world of objects. Everyday items are reproduced or covered with unexpected materials such as leather. They are henceforth deprived of their use and endowed with new meaning. Saved from oblivion, banality and decay, Jot often relates them to her personal life e.g. Vestes de la colère et de la joie (Jackets of Anger and Joy) which embody a transition from one emotional state to another and serve as a recollection of the inner strength required to overcome difficulty.

Jot also blends art and writing in order to give her work a socio-political dimension, addressing questions of gender, identity, morality and the body at work. The relationship of human beings and the body is of primary concern. She explores the correlation between her own body and identity, and to nature, by putting herself into the shoes of fictional characters. In The Hunter, Jot becomes a hunter armed with accessories (clogs, cactus skin, gaiters and a canoe), pushing the notion of identity so far that fiction and reality merge. A very real question is then posed: to what extent can we deconstruct our identity, determined by the socio-economic and cultural environment of our birth, and reshape it in the image of our needs?
