    „Es gibt keine Tyranneien, die nicht versuchen, die Kunst einzuschränken, weil sie die Macht der Kunst sehen. Kunst kann der Welt Dinge sagen, die sonst nicht geteilt werden können. Kunst vermittelt Gefühle.“

    - Volodymyr Selenskyj, Präsident der Ukraine

    Performance

    2013, Parma

    Here the artist is in conversation with the Italian professor Giacomo Rizolatti, the scientist who discovered the mirror neurons with which we perceive empathy. Fabre’s famous marble sculptures Pietas are based on this discovery. 

     

    'It is now three in the morning.
    This time I can't sleep
    because my mirror neurons are still
    floating around and dancing with delight.
    POST REFLECTIONS
    The whole day, during the film shoot, enjoyed
    the open mind and playful performance
    by the marvellous Professor Giacomo Rizzolatti.
    What lovely people.
    The searching and discovering man.'
