ZONE 30 ART PUBLIC accueille Jessami Gaillard

Created in acrylic and enriched with digital texts written by the artist and her roommates, the six works on display open the doors to an apartment, while blurring the boundaries between the private and the public, memory and the present. The ceramic buildings, created by Françoise Hohenegger of Atelier Terre et Formes, extend this exploration by playing with the interplay between domestic and outdoor spaces. Populated by human figures, animals, familiar objects, and fragments of stories, these scenes depict familiar interiors while moving away from literal representations.

The walls become silent witnesses to a collective life in constant transformation, marked by arrivals, departures, and the bonds that form over time. The texts integrated into the paintings give voice to those who have participated in this shared history and reveal what transforms a dwelling into a lived-in space: the relationships, habits, memories, and forms of care that are built there day by day. Beyond simply sharing a space, the shared living arrangement emerges here as a place of trust, solidarity, and belonging, where the phrase “People that feel like home” takes on its full meaning. Roommates become co-inhabitants, bound by respect, love, kindness, and care for one another.Between personal narrative and collective memory, “Living Here, With You” offers a reflection on contemporary forms of communal living and celebrates the capacity of everyday spaces to become places of attachment, refuge, and shared creation.BiographyHaving grown up in Valais, Jessami Gaillard is a recent graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in visual arts from EDHEA (Valais School of Design and Art) in Sierre.His artistic practice revolves around queer themes, ranging from trans identity and l&rsqu
