Abstract

This volume is published on the occasion of Batia Suter's exhibition at the Mauvoisin Dam in Switzerland. Suter focuses on her ever-expanding archive of scanned landscape images, which has already played an important role in her earlier publications. Many of the images depict wastelands, alternating between romantic and menacing views which create simultaneous sensations of majesty and disorientation. Through layering, a variety of disparate geological and biological environments merge into composite, dreamlike landscapes in a kind of adventurous journey. The book's title is derived from the term 'Hexameter', a poetic form of writing used in Homer's 'Odyssey'. Exhibition: Musée de Bagnes & Mauvoisin Dam, Verbier, Switzerland (15.06.-29.09.2019).

Abstract

Batia Suter est une artiste suisse née à Bülach en 1967, actuellement basée à Amsterdam, qui travaille principalement l'image et le livre d'artiste. Son travail porte sur la production d’images (très) grand format qui entrent en résonance avec leur lieu d’exposition, des animations photographiques, des séquences d’images et de collages, souvent à partir d’images trouvées. Ses thèmes récurrents sont l’« iconification » et l’« immunogénicité » des images, ainsi que les circonstances qui les ont chargées de ces nouvelles valeurs associatives. Son travail replace, de manière intuitive, d’anciennes images dans de nouveaux contextes afin de créer la surprise et d’engager une réflexion sur ces nouvelles possibilités signifiantes. Avec un œil affuté pour repérer les harmonies cachées et les accidents expressifs, Suter crée des espaces hypnagogiques où les images peuvent communiquer selon leur propre logique. As with Batia Suter's previous projects, 'Cloud Service' is primarily interested in the visual dialogue that emerges with the simple act of placing images in new relations to one another. Drawing from her vast personal library of natural history reference books, encyclopaedias, and other flea market finds, Suter assembles a mix of 'non-art' images, adapted and reoriented in intuitive and often profound ways. The set of appropriated images comprising this book is a monographic index of clouds and cloud-suggestive forms. Placed in the right sequence, these images resonate in new and complex ways, manipulate each other, and take on new depths of meaning with a sort of synaptic leap. Exhibition: Printed Matter, Inc., New York, USA (21.02-21.04.2019).
