Fabrice Bonniot, a longtime instructor and contemporary music specialist at IESA for Bachelors and Masters students in Cultural Productions and MBA in Performing Arts Management students, is also a psychopractitioner and poet.

SONIVORES is his first artist’s book, in which his poems dialogue with the drawings of ML Colrat, visual artist and art therapist.

On Wednesday, December 14, the launch of “SONIVORES” was held at the Terrain Vagh gallery. The launch was accompanied by performances by Czesare (music), an IESA alumna of the Bachelor in Cultural Productions, Maxime Lambert and Milo Taft (readings), and by the authors’ book signing.

SONIVORES is a meeting between two neighbors, both driven in their creations by hybrid and sensory identities. Fabrice and ML experiment there with a couple’s logic. Between image and text, between words and motifs. Between masculine and feminine. Between upheaval and renewal too. Their media circle each other. Call out to each other. Seduce each other. Draw closer and touch. Marry by confronting each other. From this marriage are born 16 children, 16 duos: the “SONIVORES.”

SONIVORES is an artist’s book, self-produced and printed at the art printing house of Montquartiers (Issy-les-Moulineaux). It is available in 2 versions:

- standard edition (16 poem and drawing duos), numbered and limited to 128 copies: €45

- deluxe edition, limited to 32 copies, including in addition to the 16 duos an unpublished duo - drawing enhanced with gold leaf and handwritten poem: €65

Fabrice Bonniot and ML Colrat will be at IESA on January 31, 2023 for a book signing of this beautiful artist’s book.

We wish SONIVORES great success.
