ballon stratosphérique / victorine müller

swiss artist victorine mu?ller has combined the disciplines of performance, sculpture, painting and sound for the last fourteen years — with an upcoming exhibition at the zone contemporaine oliver fahrni in bern, switzerland entitled wild at heart showing her current work of a PVC squid entitled ballon stratosphérique. müller’s work can be considered palpably immersive experiences to her audience — each artwork characterised by the artist herself encased in a seemingly weightless PVC structure, often depicting that of an animal. her presentations are very much oriented around a spiritual or emotional dynamism where her presence inside the air-filled creature often emits a tangible aura — breathing animistic energy into the beast she inhabits. this unusual medium fosters a thorough and almost halcyon contemplation for her viewers, each piece created to impart abstract ideas and somewhat invisible forces — via designboom
