Programme
Artists
Florance Plojoux, born in 1968 in Gassin (Var, France), lives and works as a visual artist in Geneva and Biel/Bienne. After training as a graphic designer and studying visual communication with a specialisation in illustration, she turned her attention to drawing. Graphite is her primary medium; her works oscillate between the micro and the macro, heaviness and lightness, emptiness and density. She regards drawing as a space for independent research and invention.
Florance Plojoux is exhibiting 19 works in graphite at etage 19, in which spaces and objects emerge from dense layers of lines and tones. Her approach emphasises process-oriented, free drawing as a medium of thought in its own right.
Elijah Graf Quartier is an independent film director and producer based in Geneva. Whilst studying at HEAD – Geneva, he made films that were screened at Swiss festivals. Excelsior 88-22-70 received a special mention at the Winterthur Short Film Festival in 2019; he later went on to work as a producer, including on No Sleep Till.
The programme lists Elijah Graf’s work *Excelsior 88-22-70*, a film made in 2019. His contribution is likely to have added a cinematic dimension to the exhibition; no further details regarding the presentation at étage 19 are visible in the screenshot.
