Jérôme Chazeix was born in France in 1976 and has been living in Berlin since 2000. Between 1994 and 2002 he studied Fine Arts at the University of Saint-Etienne (FR) and graduated with a thesis on Synthesis of the Arts («Gesamtkunstwerke»). Between 1995 and 2000 he in parallel pursued and graduated with a Diploma in Fine Arts from the School of Art in Saint-Etienne (FR). Between 2000 and 2004 he was a «Meisterschüler» under Katharina Grosse at the Berlin Weissensee School of Art. He has been selected for numerous grants and Artist Residencies, and exhibits his work internationally. Jérôme Chazeix’ s works are contemporary syntheses of the arts («Gesamtkunstwerke»). The focus of his artistic oeuvre lies in the combination of different media and their cross-references. Sculptures, videos, music and costumes are preferred elements of his artistic work and its installations, environments and performances. The interplay and the fusion of these disciplines results in a complex scenario. Like a graphic contamination, the staging envelops all surfaces of the space and invite you to dive into those worlds.
