Life edit
Gassel was 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 public appearances 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 her 2001 book Eros Androgyne[1] and Musculatures. These two works celebrate her strong body. Her decisive writing in The Years of Insignificance probes the adversities of her torn and troubled childhood. Gassel has also created a photographic publication Récit Plastique.[citation needed]
"In a readily traditional prose with quasi-nervous tension that vibrates constantly building intensity," describes the philosopher Frank Pierobon, "Récit Plastique recounts this through dialogue texts and photographs.[citation needed] This body with body, between writings and images, oscillates between instincts of life and death, leading to a marbled reflection of abstractions."
