Winner 2016
Caroline Etter
Caroline Etter is currently completing a Master's degree in Visual Arts at the Haute école d’art et de design de Genève, from which she has a Bachelor in Construction. Her past experiences in alternative social systems have brought her to question the political, social and economic discourses that these lifestyles can generate.
C.O.R., 2016
Her project, C.O.R., focuses on the visibility of minorities. How can we express, through art, the singularities, the differences, as well as the social, ethnic or political discrimination encountered by certain communities? How can we represent them or make them known without further stigmatising or misrepresenting them?
Her work emerges from these interrogations and is included in a more overall reflection on the way our western societies cope with the issue of migration, and particularly on our relationship to otherness and the discourses that derive from it.
C.O.R., acronym for an ornithological center of re-adaptation in Geneva, is a project which questions and voluntarily blends various discourses on migration , playing with notions of ambiguity and porosity.
