Trittico Nights
photos and video installation
2014
winner of the Société des Arts Prize and
of the FMAC grant for contemporary art project
Presented in the Crosnier Hall of the Palais de l’Athénée in Geneva, this installation combines a voice-over video with two monumental photographs. It recounts the dreams of a young Geneva-based artist during the year leading up to her expulsion from Switzerland. The non-linear narrative emerges from the juxtaposition of the voice-over with long static shots filmed in public and private spaces, which accompany the words without illustrating them. The photographs introduce a mental space within the exhibition site. The project offers a political reading through immersion in the unconscious — a way of telling exile through the language of dreams.
