This second exhibition of the year is a double presentation: Môh Dramane’s work stems from the urgency to testify to loss and absence – of papers, housing, work, family – but also from the need to recreate and share something beautiful. On the other hand, Noemi Pfister reflects on alternative lifestyles; her concern focuses on problems caused by humanity’s relentless pursuit of progress, such as increasing social inequalities and the mutation of biological systems. She imagines the inhabitants of a fictional society who become the protagonists of her works. These two approaches, blending political elements with personal experiences, converge in their profound essence.
Noemi Pfister (1991, Locarno) is an artist who lives and works in Basel. In 2017, she obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts with a specialization in painting at HEAD in Geneva.
