Florian Sanna, also known as Abuz One

Coming from graphic design and artistic direction, and deeply influenced by graffiti culture, Florian Sanna (aka AbuzOne) views photography not merely as a capture of reality, but as the culmination of a process of total construction. Both a visual artist, craftsman, and director, he develops a rigorous conceptual body of work centered on social anatomy and the trajectory of the individual in the face of control structures.

AbuzOne's work can be read as a psychological and spatial progression around the human condition. Since 2021, his core project "Mauvaizélève" (Bad Pupil) has been building a visual, artistic, and political mythology in the form of an intimate dystopia. In it, he explores the inevitable friction between the undisciplined individual and institutions (school, state, or social). To embody this narrative of marginality and insubordination, he fully constructs life-size sets from recycled cardboard, shapes accessories, and produces fake archival documents such as propaganda newspapers for the "Parti du Piquet" (Picket Party) or regulatory charters. Photography intervenes as the final act that seals the staging, giving it the status of historical evidence.

This confrontation with the group and the system expands with "Les Zotres" (2025), an investigation into otherness and community perception, before taking a radical turn in 2026 with the series "Entre 4 murs" (Between 4 Walls).

In this last part, the artist performs an architectural and conceptual zoom-out. The iconic character of Mauvaizélève leaves the human scale to be confined within 1:100 scale models representing the Institute. Enclosed in these minimalist cardboard structures, the individual faces total isolation, both domestic and psychological. Photographed using focus stacking, these models acquire a monumental and unsettling physical presence. Between rigorous geometry and a muted unease, AbuzOne's work merges raw craftsmanship and digital precision, excluding any use of artificial intelligence, to capture the resilience of those who inhabit the blind spots of our societies.

GENERATIVE AI MANIFESTO: In the era of algorithm-calculated pixels, the studio imposes a physical resistance. No universe is generated by a prompt: every square millimeter of the work is born from an original photograph, a volume, a cut-out, or a collage. The illusion is not virtual; it is built, palpable.
