REOPEN MY GLADE

Collaborative work by Pauline Della Bianca and Lyn Bentschik

​

2019, Photography

​

This work engages with notions of body boundaries, gender and identity. The performer (Lyn Bentschik) interacts with the audience through a confrontation with a glass plate. Their face remains unseen.

I use the photographic medium to play with notions of sharpness and create spaces for ambiguities. The title of the work refers to Pipilotti Rist’s work: Open My Glade.

​

The work Reopen my Glade was chosen by Art Blanche (in collaboration with SBB) to be exhibited at two train stations: Zürich's central station and Uster.

The work can be seen (amongst others) on big screens between 20.2. and April 21st 2020. 

​

Pauline Della Bianca (1993) is an art historian and artist based in Zürich. She wrote her MA thesis on feminist performance using a socio-historical feminist analysis. In her own artistic work she uses photograhy, photocollages and mixed media. She is currently the artistic director of FAT, a swiss feminist network advocating for the inclusion of women in the arts.
