Swiss-born Dejan Gacond places words at the center of his artistic projects—shared through installations, books, and stage performances. For 15 years, he and Kit Brown have imagined and built A Kaleidoscope of Nothingness.

Since 2013, Dejan has collaborated with Lydia, a poetic friendship marked by 13 performances within the installations. He also translated several of her texts into French, including V.I.T.R.I.O.L., published by Au Diable Vauvert in 2022.

His collaborations extend to writer Tony O’Neill, filmmaker Sabrina Sarabi, and the band And Also The Trees. His latest books, Sous tes yeux les poches sont des bassines (2025) and Club Nothing (2022), were both published by Label Rapace.
