About the Artist

Benoît Piéron (b. Ivry-sur-Seine) was born with meningi-tis, and treated for leukaemia as a kid. In the 1970s and 1980s, 4,689 people with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders were infected with HIV and hepatitis viruses through the use of contaminated clotting factors – Piéron was one of these peo-ple, and whilst he did not become seropositive, his body became more political.
