Louise Guerra's artistic work deals with the theory and practice of collectivity. On the one hand, she is a fictional artist who appropriates the thoughts, forms, theories, methods and biographies of others in order to examine them and put them up for discussion anew; on the other hand, she is a collective that appears in public with exhibitions, publications, performances and other manifestations. Louise Guerra is a figure whose practice refers to other figures from different historical periods, with whom she shares a first name, and attempts to create different spaces of action. In Chapter 16 - X MODES robes-poèmes of her work, which she performed in Amden from 21 to 22 May 2016, Louise Guerra explored what community could mean beyond "shared working space" and "digital communities".
Based on the book Robes Poèmes by Sonia Delaunay and Jacques Damase, Louise Guerra designed two dresses for her Louise collective at Atelier Amden, which allowed the wearers to experience both closeness and dependency, as two people had to share one dress. The Louise collective in the Amden studio comprised four people who spent two days in the Amden studio in two dresses, modeling, drawing and painting a sculpture together. Louise Guerra leaves open the question of whether the Louise collective in the Amden studio is a fiction brought to life or a fiction of life. One of the two dresses and the sculpture were exhibited at Atelier Amden until 2017. (Text Roman Kurzmeyer)
