Current residency
Atelier 407A
rue du Vélodrome 2-18, 1205 Geneva, CH
Située à la frontière du perceptible, la pratique de Suzanne Boulet se compose majoritairement d'installations in situ, parfois d'objets artisanaux, de courtes vidéos ou de poèmes, pour développer une compréhension du monde qui attribue une grande importance à l'intelligence du corps. Par connotations successives, son travail explore la notion de viscéralité et cherche à capturer des expériences sensorielles et émotionnelles qui font partie du champ de l'indicible.

Situated at the threshold of the perceptible, Suzanne Boulet’s practice is primarily composed of site-specific installations, sometimes artisanal objects, short videos, or poems, through which she develops an understanding of the world that places great importance on the bodily intelligence. Through successive layers of connotation, her work explores the notion of viscerality and seeks to capture sensory and emotional experiences that belong to the realm of the unspeakable.
