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 viewer through a confrontation with a glass plate. Their face remains unseen.

​

The photographic medium is used 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.

It could be seen on big screens between 20.2. and April 21st 2020.
