Milva Stutz

Milva Stutz (b. 1985, based in Zurich) cre­ates large-format draw­ings in char­coal and soft pastel to com­ment on human rela­tion­ships, awk­ward­ness, inse­cu­rity, love, and inti­macy. In her video pieces she trans­lates the visual lan­guage of draw­ing into three-dimen­sional struc­tures, com­bin­ing acting with dig­i­tal and ana­logue ani­ma­tion. Social expec­ta­tions of the indi­vid­ual and the rela­tion­ship between human bodies and tech­nol­ogy in the dig­i­tal present are recur­ring topics in her work. In her largest insti­tu­tional solo exhi­bi­tion up to date, she engages with ques­tions about wit­ness­ing and respon­si­bil­ity: How are we beholden to others? What does it mean to be part of a community?
