2022 | Centre de la photographie Gen\u00e8ve<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Centre de la photographie Gen\u00e8ve presents the first institutional monographic exhibition of Anne Morgenstern, a German artist based in Switzerland. Entirely devoted to her latest project, the exhibition explores the relationship between body and identity, deconstructing the norms and social expectations surrounding the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rigorously edited and sequenced flow of images in this corpus allows questions to gradually emerge among visitors: what makes a body attractive and desirable? What makes a body normal, and who decides that a body is outside the norm? How are our identities anchored in our body, and how does it allow us to perform these identities? How are these identities negotiated? How do the relationships we have with our body change and evolve, and what faculties do we possess? How do we desire, how do we act in response to these desires?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this project, Anne Morgenstern gives visibility to individual bodies, whether in their immediate singularity, or in their apparent banality \u2014 two notions that intertwine and become increasingly difficult to differentiate as time goes by of the visit. Here, the artist creates a body of images that responds skillfully and with sensitivity to an urgent need for visibility and representation of people whose bodies or desires do not conform to the common social expectations, and therefore the most visible. It does so without indexing or classifying them, and therefore without imposing new demarcations, categories or definitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, her corpus builds parallels between the images and mechanisms of desire: objects, animals, interiors and natural elements are juxtaposed to bodies in a way that seems both perfectly coherent and totally fortuitous, just as desire resists an exhaustive analytical dissection. Textures and sensations echo through the images, while colors and repeated shapes guide the sight from one photograph to another, from one body to another. Carried by this rhythm, the individual dissolves in a flow of visuals and sensations, attracting us, inviting us to put our own desires to the test, and to desire, fully and without shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In parallel with the exhibition, the book Macht Liebe<\/em>, dedicated to this project and including an essay by Dana\u00e9 Panchaud, was published in 2022 by Hartmann Books in Stuttgart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Centre de la photographie Gen\u00e8ve pr\u00e9sente la premi\u00e8re exposition monographique institutionnelle d\u2019Anne Morgenstern, artiste allemande bas\u00e9e en Suisse. Enti\u00e8rement consacr\u00e9e \u00e0 son dernier projet, l\u2019exposition explore les relations entre corps et identit\u00e9, d\u00e9construisant de mani\u00e8re subtile les normes et les attentes sociales entourant le corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le flux d\u2019images rigoureusement \u00e9dit\u00e9 et s\u00e9quenc\u00e9 de ce corpus permet \u00e0 des questions d\u2019\u00e9merger progressivement chez les visiteurs\u2009: qu\u2019est-ce qui rend un corps beau et d\u00e9sirable\u2009? Qu\u2019est-ce qui rend un corps normal, et qui d\u00e9cide qu\u2019un corps se situe en dehors des normes\u2009? Comment nos identit\u00e9s sont-elles ancr\u00e9es dans notre corps, et comment nous permet-il de performer ces identit\u00e9s\u2009? Comment ces identit\u00e9s sont-elles n\u00e9goci\u00e9es\u2009? Comment les relations que nous entretenons avec notre corps changent-elles et \u00e9voluent-elles, et quelles facult\u00e9s d\u2019agir poss\u00e9dons-nous\u2009? Comment d\u00e9sirons-nous, comment agissons-nous en r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 ces d\u00e9sirs\u2009?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avec ce projet, Anne Morgenstern donne avant tout une visibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 des corps individuels, que ce soit dans leur singularit\u00e9 imm\u00e9diate, ou dans leur banalit\u00e9 apparente \u2014 deux notions qui s\u2019entrem\u00ealent et deviennent de plus en plus difficiles \u00e0 diff\u00e9rencier au fur et \u00e0 mesure de la visite. L\u2019artiste cr\u00e9e ici un corpus d\u2019images qui r\u00e9pond adroitement et avec sensibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 un besoin urgent de visibilit\u00e9 et de repr\u00e9sentation des personnes dont le corps ou les d\u00e9sirs ne se conforment pas aux attentes sociales les plus courantes, et donc les plus visibles. Elle le fait sans les indexer ou les classifier, et donc sans imposer de nouvelles d\u00e9marcations, cat\u00e9gories ou d\u00e9finitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enfin, son corpus tisse des parall\u00e8les entre les images et les m\u00e9canismes du d\u00e9sir\u2009: objets, animaux, int\u00e9rieurs et \u00e9l\u00e9ments naturels sont juxtapos\u00e9s aux corps d\u2019une mani\u00e8re qui semble \u00e0 la fois parfaitement coh\u00e9rente et totalement fortuite, tout comme le d\u00e9sir r\u00e9siste \u00e0 une dissection analytique exhaustive. Les textures et les sensations se font \u00e9cho au fil des images, tandis que les couleurs et les formes r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9es guident le regard d\u2019une photographie \u00e0 l\u2019autre, d\u2019un corps \u00e0 l\u2019autre. Port\u00e9 par ce rythme, l\u2019individu se dissout dans un flux de visuels et de sensations, nous attirant, nous invitant \u00e0 mettre nos propres d\u00e9sirs \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve, et \u00e0 d\u00e9sirer, pleinement et sans honte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En parall\u00e8le \u00e0 l\u2019exposition, le livre Macht Liebe<\/em> consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 ce projet et comprenant un essai de Dana\u00e9 Panchaud, est paru en 2022 chez Hartmann Books \u00e0 Stuttgart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
