Artist and performer in the Contemporary Art field. Anne Sylvie Henchoz completed a Master in Contemporary Art Practices at HEAD, Geneva, in 2012, Before, she completed a Master in Anthropology, where she worked on some "corporal interaction ceremonies" as cultural fact.
With a polymorphic practice that includes action, movement, films and narrative. Anne Sylvie Henchoz stages situations inventing a vocabulary that is at once poetic, physical and choreographic, in order to speak about a possible relation between people and alternative way of sharing spaces in order to create new possibilities. Her work is mostly performative, creating sensual, focal and expansive encounters, she looks at her practice through a prism of language, embodying ‘film-like spaces’, expanded cinema, performance and editions. She works on developing performative spaces and speculative narratives.
Most influential references come from La Ribot, Audre Lorde, Maggie Nelson, Edouard Glissant, Simone Forti, Starhawk, Anna Halprin and many others. Her work draws upon a plasticity of interactions, treasuring idea of ‘fluid identity’, in order to question the being together, commonplace ideas about identities, and how identities and bodies.x (livings) deal with oppressive norms.
All projects are shaped by the desire to experience profound states of reality with others and rethink what could do bodies.x together in spaces.
