ABOUT Fab Rideti
Born in France, Fab Rideti is a visual artist who graduated in Photography at the School of Fine Arts of Versailles, France (Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Versailles) in 2011 . She spent a few years in Seattle USA, then moved to Brussels in 2015. She now lives and works between Paris and Brussels.
With a plastic approach, Fab Rideti produces a committed work, imbued with major contemporary issues, scrutinizing both human fragility and the flaws in our societies.
Themes of game, representation, spectacle are recurrent within her work.
She takes us into her fantasized theatrical universe, often tinged with derision. She first seduces us, to better reach us afterwards: her falsely perfect images surprise us with a second reading when we do not expect it. She speaks to our inner child .
Rideti stages her photos by creating imaginary characters that she dresses up in her own playful way. She tells us stories to make us dream, and think :speechless stories, suspended narratives through which she depicts the human condition.
