Saâdane Afif was born in 1970 in Vendôme, France.
He lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
A graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts de Bourges, Saâdane Afif is one of the most acclaimed French artists of his generation. His work questions various media (performances, objects, texts and printed materials) without fitting into any particular artistic category or discipline. All his projects are subject to a continuous process of alteration.
He has had numerous solo exhibitions including Anthology of Black Humour at MMK Frankfurt in 2012, Technical Specifications at Witte de With, Rotterdam in 2008 and Lyrics at Palais de Tokyo in 2005.
His work was also presented at Documenta 12 in 2007 and at the 56th edition of the Venice Biennale. He was awarded the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2009 and the Meurice Prize for Contemporary Art in 2015.
