About the exhibition

Exhibition.

As part of its reopening season after four years of renovation of its spaces, the Swiss Cultural Center offers the public the opportunity to discover three monographic exhibitions by major artists from the Swiss scene and from different generations: Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah presents "no flowers": exploring the relationship between manual photographic printing, AI and visual distortions, "no flowers" engages in reflection on mourning, absence and the violence of institutions medical.

Ingeborg Lüscher presents "Flames": retracing the pioneering practice of the artist since the 1970s, the exhibition summons the creative and intractable force of fire, from conflagration to ashes. Mai-Thu Perret presents "Othermothers": composing a cosmic space populated by powerful and luminous goddesses, the exhibition imagines new collective and emancipatory mythologies.

Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah, "no flowers"

First monographic exhibition in France by Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah (born in 1990, lives and works in Zurich), "no flowers" engages a reflection on absence, mourning and the violence inherent in medical and technological systems. Analogue photographs of bouquets of dried flowers constitute the material basis of the project. In 2022, some were processed by an image generative system without prompting, producing visual mutations then transcribed onto negatives and printed in the darkroom. They sit alongside fragments of the medical career of the artist's father and clinical observations written by his last doctor in Accra. The repetition of flowers, sometimes intact, sometimes altered, surrounds the figure of the father like a posthumous gesture: not a conclusion, but a presence. Between disorientation, perseverance and attention, "no flowers" composes a space of resistance to disappearance through the material presence of the image.

Ingeborg Lüscher, "Flammes"

From sulfur to ashes, from embers to swirls of smoke, "Flames" explores the vitality of fire and its creative and intractable power. Retracing the practice of Ingeborg Lüscher (born in 1936 in Germany, lives and works in Ticino), the exhibition reveals the relationship to conflagration that the artist has developed from her first experiments to the present day. At the end of the 1960s, Ingeborg Lüscher began a plastic, pictorial and performative research that would never leave her. She also deploys a unique photographic practice, documenting those close to her, her encounters and the landscapes traveled during her travels and in her daily life. From 1975, the artist also composed conceptual and autobiographical works around chance, love and dreams. “Flames” explores the ardor of a rich artistic career nourished by a continuous quest for transformation, a deep interest in matter, bodies and cyclical processes from destruction to renewal, from absence to rebirth.<br
