Featured in: EPISODE 2 on CREATIVITY
Jean-Marie Bottequin is a Belgian photographer and mime. His diverse artistic journey began in 1962 as a freelance photographer, encompassing photo design, portraiture, and specialized photography for theater, ballet, and automotive clients like BMW. His work, including social reportages and travel photography, has been exhibited internationally since 1965 and is held in numerous museum collections.
Bottequin's mastery extends to the art of mime, having studied under the renowned Ɖtienne Decroux and the legendary Marcel Marceau. This background in physical expression and non-verbal communication significantly informs his understanding of human interaction, a key element in his later career as a communication expert. His unique blend of visual artistry and the silent language of mime provides a profound perspective on conveying messages and emotions.
