On this film still, a young woman can be seen in front of a silvery glittering curtain, singing and holding a microphone in her hand. She is wearing a white, low-cut, sleeveless dress with feathers at the hem.

Emmanuelle Antille

Emmanuelle Antille seduces viewers with her suggestive video installations. Sammlung Goetz inaugurates its newly expanded exhibition space, BASE 103, by presenting two central works of the Swiss artist.

We almost feel that we are sleepwalking when Emmanuelle Antille leads us along paths to mythically charged places. These locations become arenas for exceptional human circumstances and borderline situations.
The viewer in the five-part video installation Radiant Spirits (2000) seems to assume the role of a voyeur. In this work, Antille is the guide who takes the viewer on a discovery tour of an old Grand Hotel. Lying comfortably on a chaise lounge wearing video eyeglasses, the viewer witnesses erotic and puzzling events.
The video installation Angels Camp – Into the Purple Circle (2003) features four freely hanging screens and a lightbox, and is an independent component of the work group Angels Camp. Based on a novel, the work depicts the life of a group of young people at a camp on a lake. The installation was first shown in its entirety in 2003 in the Swiss Pavilion in Venice.
With the opening of BASE 103, Ingvild Goetz sets new priorities in her media exhibition activities.

Cindy Sherman

| Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster

The staging of female role models in photographic self-portraits is the predominant theme in the work of American artist Cindy Sherman. To this end, Sherman references stereotypes of collective visual memory in a media-driven world. The exhibition at the Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster highlights works from Sherman’s fashion series, created between 1983 and 1994. Thanks to her passion for costumes and masquerade, the world of fashion has been an expansive playing field for her artistic exploration.
