The story
A journey that became a book
In January 2011, it is released The incredible story of Ben Jack'son, a work by Frédéric Benkel published by Éditions Normant. Inspired by his journey, the book reflects on a unique artistic adventure, built around passion, perseverance, identity, and the search for meaning.
Ben Jack'son didn't think his story would resonate with so many readers. Yet, through his shows and book signings, this narrative has found its audience and extended the connection with those who have been following his work for many years.
The book
A look at an unconventional artistic journey
The book grew out of an encounter with Frédéric Benkel, a journalist and Michael Jackson admirer. He accompanied the artist at several performances to observe his work, meet his teams and interview him about his career.
This biography offers a behind-the-scenes look at a long and demanding artistic commitment, featuring photographs and anecdotes shared by the artist himself.
