Vernissage: HANDS, HEADS AND HORSES by Mizzo

The Trace Gallery proudly presents ‘Hands, Heads and Horses’, a solo exhibition by Mizzo (Myriam Gämperli). The series is inspired by images from 1950s issues of the magazines Du and Vogue as well as botanical illustrations. Publications are a treasure trove that Mizzo first raided for motifs such as forks, knives, heads, hands, torsos and tails. These images come to life through collage and editing. On deep black backgrounds, isolated elements are rearranged in unconstrained formations: a lion takes on an arm for a tail, its hand grasps a flower; a woman cries tears of leaves that form a ruff round her neck; or a collar and tie make the neck beneath a face from a bloom of leaves, a hand pressed to the petal forehead. A century ago the founders of Dada and later the Surrealists embraced the potential of collage; a famous line by the poet Lautréamont describes beauty found in ‘the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing-machine and an umbrella’. Mizzo builds on this tradition of disruption; her arrangements balance recognition and unfamiliarity. That mixture of the known and the unexpected often generates humour, though that element of comedy also illustrates the tension generated by powerful juxtapositions. Looking forward to seeing you there! Myriam, Regina, Donovan, Rio und Reto
