| Biography | Latefa Wiersch lives and works in Zurich. She studied Art at the Universität der Künste Berlin and the Hochschule der Künste Bern. Latefa Wiersch's installations, performances and videos deal with questions around the body, object-subject-relations, fetishization, sexualization and exoticization against the background of the postcolonial present. In particular, the doll is staged as an inanimate counterpart. Another focus is satirically dedicated to topics of collective art production, institutional critique as well as to the mixing of private and public as it is presented on social media. Wiersch has received grants and awards from the Canton of Zurich, the City of Zurich, among others and been honoured by the Swiss Performance Art award 2022 with Rhoda Davids Abel and Dandara Modesto. In 2021 Wiersch was nominated for the Swiss Art Awards. |
