Kelly Tissot in conversation with Fabienne Liptay (Professor of Film Studies, University of Zurich); Moderator: Ines Tondar (Curatorial Assistant, Kunsthaus Baselland).
In her artistic practice, Kelly Tissot (b. 1995, Haute-Savoie, France; lives and works in Basel) combines photographic series with installation elements and explores image constructions as well as traditional notions of landscape. Her works are characterized by a cool aesthetic in which the familiar and the unfamiliar overlap in complex ways. In doing so, she reveals how humans shape nature. She creates images that oscillate between rural idyll and a palpable sense of unease.
The conversation focuses on Tissot’s visual language and the unsettling atmosphere that characterizes her work. Together with Fabienne Liptay, they explore how cinematic narrative techniques disrupt conventional ways of seeing and make seemingly banal details of the landscape suddenly seem eerie. The focus is on the question of how images tell stories without revealing everything—a deliberate interplay between the visible and the hidden, in which the familiar landscape loses its harmless clarity.
The discussion will be held in English. Admission is free, but registration is required.
The event is part of the public discussion series “Let’s talk about” organized by Swiss Post’s Art Department and accompanies the publication on Swiss Post’s art collection. In moderated discussions with selected artists, key themes of the collection are explored, and the publication—and in particular the artistic practice of the featured artists—is presented. With their expertise and diverse backgrounds, discussion partners from various disciplines enrich the dialogue and open up new perspectives. The events take place at Swiss Post branches and are aimed at art enthusiasts as well as a broad audience.
