His artistic approach evolves towards sculptural research combining multiple materialities (glass, porcelain, etc.) and digital creation processes. His works, in turn summoning history, philosophy, literature or science as plural sources of inspiration, seek to explore the boundaries between the living and the inert, the human and the non-human.

"Each work of Fabien Zocco is the resolution of an equation posed by him whose terms are technè, artifice, simulacrum, automatism, exhaustion...
Whether plastic, visual or multimedia, the work given as a solution seems often stem from the autonomization of a system. The forms thus coldly generated play on the assumed distancing of the artist and place the spectator in a solitary state of heightened perception of his own humanity.

Alexandre Bohn, FRAC Poitou-Charentes.



His work has been shown in France (NEMO Biennale, Le 104-Paris, Le Fresnoy, La Gaité Lyrique, FRAC Poitou-Charentes, FID Marseille... ), in Germany (ZKM Karlsruhe, GEH8 Dresde), in Russia (MAM Moscou), in Ukraine (Dovzhenko Center Kyiv, Tetramatyka Lviv), in China (Pearl Art Museum Shanghai), in Mexico (French Institute Mexico city), in Canada (UQTR Trois-Rivières), in Poland (Wroclaw), in Belgium (NTAA Biennale Ghent, Musée Royal de Mariemont Morlanwelz), in Italy (Spazio IN SITU Rome, LALD Polignano a Mare) and online (The Wrong – New digital art biennale).
