Jérôme Stünzi is a Franco Swiss artist and scenographer who combines sculpture, video and paintings with performance and living arts. His work regularly incorporates salvaged objects, sometimes layering abstract forms with industrially manufactured elements to try to find a poetic plasticity. Stünzi deliberately ignores supposed boundaries between different genres, media, or categorizations established by the art system. His process is filled with references to salvaged things and their materiality. In doing so, they playfully avoid a one-dimensional reading. Stünzi’s minimalist kinetic sculpture are incongruous in form, marked by unnerving color schemes and various other unsettling elements. Using geometrical abstraction, his goal is not to give life to objects, but to turn them into performers. Again and again he expands isolated artistic creative processes through collective work.
