Jean-Louis Poitevin (born 1955) is a French writer, art critic and PhD in philosophy. Author of numerous books and articles on contemporary art and literature, he now mainly publishes novels and essays. Since 2005, his research has focused on art and society analysed through the prism of image. From Gracq to Musil, from
Flusser and Simondon to
Twombly and
Nitsch, he has sought to approach the shores of the imagination that have sometimes carried men to incomparable heights. By linking the invention of gods to the systematic destruction of the mysteries of consciousness, he now attempts to outline the contours of the psyche that will replace it.
