The Hum Has Hooves – Solo Exhibition by Myriam Gämperli
Overview
Intro
Myriam Gämperli blends the surreal with the familiar.
Myriam Gämperli’s works draw on a surrealist tradition of arrangement. The playful blend of the recognizable and the unfamiliar creates a charm that characterizes her installations.
Gämperli creates a space in which hierarchies are questioned, gravity is overcome, and bodies are liberated from their limitations.
She usually stages herself as a hybrid being or a hybrid form of object and subject. Sculptural performance allows her to assume multiple identities that fan out across the axes of nature, gender, and notions of beauty. The stage-like sequences are inspired by the artist’s everyday life, which unfolds between the urban space of Zurich and the natural surroundings of Bettenau, SG.
Contrasting elements repeatedly manifest themselves in Gämperli’s collages, paintings, installations, performances, and dances. They reflect autobiographical experiences: having grown up in a hamlet of 75 residents, she has lived in cities such as London, Berlin, and Zurich. Her diverse experiences with marginalized groups and subcultures at the intersection of art and tradition continue to shape her to this day.
