Photogallery Opening of TEFF24: Olivier de Sagazan - Transfiguration and Telegraph Film Festival 2024

Olivier de Sagazan (born 1959) is a French performance artist, sculptor, painter and dancer who found his way to art through his initial studies in biology. Although not formally trained as an artist, Olivier's fascination with organic reality and all that makes living forms what they are has led him to a crossroads of many disciplines, where he himself becomes a personified image. One of his most famous performances is TRANSFIGURATION. Anything can be transformed... a cocooned caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly, or a beautiful reality into an otherworldly nightmare.

His performance on Wednesday evening, October 9, 2024, kicked off the fourth annual TELEGRAPH FILM FESTIVAL.
