Abstract
We consider B\'ezier curves with complex parameters, and we determine explicitly the affine iterated function system (IFS) corresponding to the de Casteljau subdivision algorithm, together with the complex parametric domain over which such an IFS has a unique global connected attractor. For a specific family of complex parameters having vanishing imaginary part, we prove that the Takagi fractal curve is the attractor, under suitable scaling.
