Very marked because of the hyper-medicalisation of our daily life that resulted from covid, and which made the individual story resonate with the global story. I looked at my own medical history through this interactive self-portrait.
This self-portrait on canvas, between sculpture, installation and performance, is transformable and evolutionary. It can be installed to reveal different states. It thus becomes a “tableau clinique,” according to the medical term in French.
Dissected, stapled, sutured, broken, x-rayed, bandaged, wounded, plastered, pricked, bled, analysed, operated, isolated, medicated, treated, isolated, ointment, tested, vaccinated : The disease has taken shape, my body is medicalised by the medical profession : Clinical case in a clinical environment.
The transformation of the painting is possible by touching it, thus subjecting it to the risk of being “wounded/contaminated” by the person who intervenes to reveal its possibilities and thus make it live.
Sève Favre is a visual artist based near Lausanne. Passionate about the concept of integration, she concentrates on transcending the classical boundary between the artwork and the viewer. The main feature of her art is interactivity. The key words that support her concept is are interaction (to be together), variation (to be different), and activity (to be active). Her name for this experience is « intervariactivity ». She wants to integrate the viewer into her art in a direct and tactile way. She combines this experience with a strong digital (virtual) focus and physical (real) way, through works on canvas, in situ installations, performances, happening or digital works and projects. Her interactive artworks engage the public in the artistic process in order to have an impact on their way of thinking about art and concepts. Her goal is to enable the viewer to understand the research and questioning that an artist asks themself during the process of experimentation and creation.
