Photo Elysée × Arsenic au Signal L
Exposition au Signal L
- Du 30.06 au 27.08.2023 - Vernissage le 29 juin à 18:00
Situé dans la prolongation du restaurant Arcadia, Le Signal L de Plateforme 10, soutenu par la Fondation Leenaards, est un dispositif qui offre aux artistes la possibilité d'éclairer notre portion de territoire, le Canton de Vaud, chacun à leur manière et à leur image. Plusieurs fois par année, un·ex artistex est invité·e·x à venir y porter un regard croisé sur une institution ou événement romand afin d’élargir et de faire varier le champ d’action artistique de Plateforme 10, en allant au-delà des beaux-arts, du design ou de la photographie.
At the invitation of Photo Elysée, Jagoda Wisniewska will take over the SIanl L space, in collaboration with Arsenic and the Leenaards Foudantion.
Wisniewska looks at the perception of the female body and representations of female sexual and reproductive functions (sexual intercourse, menstruation, birth and breastfeeding). The female body, exposed and sexualised, is also hidden, described by Jean-Paul Sartre as “a series of wet holes and slimy substances”. Simultaneously provoking desire and disgust, this “wetness” is both invigorating and threatening. Wisniewska explores the relationship between photography and performance art. She teams up with performer Tamara Alegre to examine
the portrayal of the female body and its fluids, using the presence of the camera (and the photographer) as an accomplice in identity experiments.
Through her projects, Jagoda Wisniewska (1987) examines the roles attributed to women, especially in the domestic realm. Born in Bydgoszcz, Poland, Wisniewska studied photography at Napier University in Edinburgh, and then at ECAL. Her work focuses on concepts of performativity and portraiture. Her projects explore the age-old fascination of the mother
figure and its representations in photography.
Tamara Alegre works with dance and choreography. In 2018, they were awarded an MA in Choreography from the DOCH, Stockholm, and created FIEBRE with Lydia Ö Diakité, Marie Ursin, Nunu Flashdem and Célia Lutangu. Her work has been presented at several European venues and won the Young Choreographer’s Award in 2021.
Her research revolves around sensual embodiments, fiction on sexuality and sexual organs, and liminal physical states as choreographic tools. Their work epitomises and is charged with resistance, intensity and the joy of dancing with others.
