Biography
Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi (crazinisT artisT) is a Ghanaian-Togolese multimedia and performance artist born in 1981 in Ho, Volta Region and living in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, Ghana.
He holds a Bachelor in Fine Arts - BFA (Painting) from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana.
In his work, he embarks on an endless journey of investigating and questioning social constructivism of human existence.
The belief in unconditional love for humanity, regardless of one’s sense of belonging or identity, pushes his art to question socio-political cultures, religious doctrines and social injustice.
He uses his own body as a material, tool and statement that explores the spontaneous reactions and indecisive involvement of his audience as co-performers, investigating the limitless boundaries between art, artist and the audience.
Suspense, ambiguity, energy and the fluidity or flow of the behavioural patterns of his audience are used to achieve a collective, interactive performance in both public and traditional gallery spaces.
