Prosthetic Memories | Brig, Switzerland

4-26.7.2020 | Stockalperschloss | As a guest of the Kunstverein Oberwallis (KVO) and the municipality of Brig-Glis I worked in the studio in the Fernanda of Stockalperhaus. From July 4 on, I showed what was created there under the title “Prosthetic Memories” in the KVO gallery “zur Matze”.

Interview in the Swiss Local TV

Lothar Berchtold wrote in the Walliser Bote 2.7.2020:
You can discover portable sculptures from old books and with current texts and drawings, lamb skulls covered with holy images and text, and reading woods. What she wants with her art? “To conserve things that are subject to decay and destruction, and thus to give old things a new existence,” the artist answers us during our visit to her studio.

Conceptual Garments | Onishi, Japan

Photo Shooting Summer 2019 | In Onishi I had the possibility to show the garments I made not only through an exhibition. Being blessed with such wonderful friends, who also can pose as such elegant models, I was able to present my garments in their best light. On the long shot this is the first step to develop a performance on stage, which will be shown in Japan in 2021.

Phenomena of Materialisation | Onishi JP

Gallery

September 2019 | Kinuya | This time in my second hometown Onishi I was showing the output of my three month of work. On display were five different garments at the Kinuya building. It is a cultural hub in and a former silk trader shop about 300 metres from my own house I bought a couple of month later.

A month before I was part of the group show with three of the same garments. This exhibition by all the artists of the Shiro Oni residency was held in the old sake brewery.

Portraits | Solothurn, Switzerland

Photo shooting Spring 2019 | Solothurn was my first long lasting residency in Europe and believe it or not my first actual stay in this country despite it is neighbouring my homeland. In generally we speak the same language but in detail we differ a lot. Due to my own dialect I was soon able to understand most of the conversations, which was a main part to get closer to some locals and befriend them. To work with strangers who also happen to be not professionals models needs a lot of trust and confidence on both sides of the lens. In Switzerland I could built up this trust and create even some nude shots, which are not on display in the internet. The analogue photo portraits were not part of the exhibition which by itself was quite complex and diverse, displaying a broad sequence of my work at the time.

Orifices | Daegu, Korea

Gallery

Photo Shooting Summer 2017 | The experience in Daegu was shared with some Korean artists and Adam, a very gifted visual artist from Ireland. Under all the circumstances which some times made it not always easy for me as a foreign woman in Korea, Adam was my rock I always could hold on. The portrait sessions had some kind of special twist as I happened to create also transcultural garments which referred to Japanese and Korean history and methods of expression. This cultural crossover was quite delicate and not easy to handle as some tensions seem to be still unsolved.
