HitStories - Davide-Christelle Sanvee — L’approbation des chienx
Sensitive to the history of the places that invite her, Davide-Christelle Sanvee has invested the space of Hit, initially Anne Minazio’s studio, as a hybrid place between studio and intimate space. Davide-Christelle has recently been questioning her relationship with hair, initially through “braid-objects”, between sculpture and domestic furniture, which were presented and used at Hit.
For HitStories, she therefore approached this question from a sculptural, but also for the first time, performative, point of view. Inviting us to visit her for a chat, a coffee or a meal in her proto-workshop/apartment, which was moved to Hit for four days, she also invited us to attend a ritual that she usually performs before her performances, in the privacy of her home – that of having her hair braided. By displacing this action and making it visible, she links this act to questions of integration, but also of alienation, transformation and fetishization, which are central to her practice.
HitStories is supported by Pro Helvetia, la Loterie Romande, la Ville de Genève, la fondation Leenaards, le Fonds cantonal d’art contemporain, DCS, Genève and la Fondation du Jubilé de la Mobilière Suisse Société Coopérative.
