About Nathalie Gassel
- Nathalie Gassel (born 19 June 1964) is a Belgian writer and photographer.
- Born in Brussels, she is also known as a Muay Thai sportsperson.
- She contributed to the 1999 work entitled Picturing the Modern Amazon, which was translated by Pierre Samuel and published by New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York City.
- She has made a number of public appearances through the years and her writings have been published by the University of Brussels Review.
- Nathalie Gassel's writing exposes her life as an athlete and details her muscular physique and is expressed in Eros Androgyne and Musculatures.
- These two works celebrate the wonders of her strong body and the power she wields in this flesh of steel.
- Her recent and decisive writing in The Years of Insignificance probes the adversities of her torn and troubled childhood and continues to affirm her strength and radical persona.
- Gassel's photographic publication RĂ©cit Plastique confirms this singular and compelling universe through the eyes of a camera lens. "In a readily traditional prose with quasi-nervous tension that vibrates constantly building intensity," describes the philosopher Frank Pierobon, "RĂ©cit Plastique recounts this through dialogue texts and photographs.
- This body with body, between writings and images, oscillates between instincts of life and death, leading to a marbled reflection of abstractions." Interview of Pierre Mertens on "Strategie d'une passion" by Thierry GĂ©nicot RTBF
