Five Fingers, Sixth Hand (2019)

Constructed entirely by four hands – films and sculptures – the installations of five fingers, sixth hand evoke, piece by piece, superimposed memories. Those that emanate from mutual cross-research and the relationship between the two artists, those that arise from the architecture of the place – abandoned office space? domestic wasteland?– and those that relate to both solar law and the solstice tradition. Together, they imitate forms and make their own suns, already fossilised, in search of autonomy and conservation. On the walls, the co-edited films – between making-of and archive on projects they worked on together – separate the sound from the image, like found postcards that turn in a loop in search of meaning.

 

Collaborative exhibition convieved with artist and filmmaker, Delphine Mouly at Alienze – artist-run structure run by Simon Jatton and Noemi Degen between Lausanne and Vienna.
