<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Vanessa Safavi<\/strong> studied at the \u00c9cole Cantonale d\u2019Art de Lausanne (ECAL)<\/strong> and has taken part in several international residencies<\/strong>, including the Istituto Svizzero<\/strong> in Rome (2012), Residency Unlimited<\/strong> in New York (2013), 92Capital<\/strong> in Peru (2015), F\u00fcrstenberg Zeitgen\u00f6ssisch<\/strong> (2018), and Triangle France<\/strong> in Marseille.<\/p>\n

She has received important awards such as the Illy Present\/Future Prize<\/strong> at Artissima<\/strong> (2012), Luci d\u2019Artista<\/strong> (Turin, 2013), and the Prix Ir\u00e8ne Raymond<\/strong> (2019).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her work develops through sculpture<\/strong>, installation<\/strong>, and works on paper<\/strong>, with a strong focus on the relationship between body<\/strong>, materials<\/strong>, and identity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her research explores human fragility<\/strong>, sexuality<\/strong>, and cultural belonging<\/strong>, weaving together ancient references<\/strong> and contemporary language<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She often works with rubber<\/strong>, silicone<\/strong>, and polymers<\/strong>, evoking the tradition of soft sculpture<\/strong> and the Antiform movement<\/strong>, where the material itself becomes content<\/strong>, metaphor<\/strong>, and sensitive surface<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Safavi shows a deep respect for ancient cultures<\/strong>, translating techniques and symbols<\/strong> into personal narratives<\/strong> that question the contemporary identity of the body<\/strong> in the context of technological optimization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her work reflects on the cultural effects<\/strong> of life in hyper-organized societies<\/strong>, leading to a new form of identity marked by complexity<\/strong>, vulnerability<\/strong>, and schizophrenic fragility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her practice reminds us of the delicacy of our bodies<\/strong> and the poetry that arises from them<\/strong>.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
