Description

Swiss artist Silvie Defraoui, born in 1935, is a pioneer of video art and art education in Switzerland.

Beginning in 1975, she worked in collaboration with her husband Cherif Defraoui (1932-1994).

Together they developed the Archives du Futur, a reflection on images, their status, and potential for memory and the future.

The two artists also founded the legendary Atelier Medias Mixtes at Geneva's Ecole superieure des Beaux-Arts (now HEAD-Geneve).

Since 1995, Defraoui has pursued a practice using various forms of expression, including projection, installation, ceramics, and serigraphy. This book is part of the new On Words series that presents conversations with contemporary women artists.

Through them, readers come to understand the sources from which they draw inspiration, the themes in their work, and their view of the world.

Edited by Julie Enckell, Federica Martini, and Sarah Burkhalter and bringing together a wide range of viewpoints, the On Words series adds a new narrative to polyphonic art history as told by those who actively shape it. Text in English and French.
