New to this series , the ghost pictures where the artists creates an aluminium cut out to recover part of the pictures , asking the viewer to see different views and re-think new scenarios.This exhibition explores different scenarios of entanglement in the form of a panorama. Bodies either fight for dominance, blend into the crowd, copy each other’s positions, or strive to escape the claustrophobic edges of the pieces. Within this ambivalence, the obsessive act of self-exposure does not come without an equally disturbing desire of being erased and to remain anonymous. As we fight for attention in social media, the figures in this series similarly claim their turn in the spotlight. The stranger only visible online is made present by body language and rendered mythical by a baroque composition.

Through her work, Alina Frieske reflects on the modern obsession with visibility on social media, where even anonymous strangers compete for attention, becoming noticeable only through their body language as they rise and fall through the frame like quicksand. The entire scene evokes the spirit of Tiepolo’s Rococo paintings.
Details, such as hands gripping bags or fingers pressing camera shutters, are distilled to their essence, creating a puzzle-like assembly that evokes the stained-glass windows’ sanctity and fragmented light.

Fabienne Levy is pleased to present “Façade” , the second solo show of German artist Alina Frieske in Lausanne and Geneva.
Alina Frieske utilizes the unique qualities of digital collage to create an interplay of transparencies and superimpositions. In her working method, the artist draws solely from snippets of everyday social media captions and selfies appropriated from a huge crowd of strangers. She assembles them digitally into imagined portraits and settings. A collection of photographs in which people pose as different versions of themselves during undisturbed instances and are combined into a collective portrait.

Through the process of collecting and reassembling, Alina Frieske explores the time’s changing relationship to our personal data in the relentless strive for visibility and connection.

Alina Frieske’s second solo show with the gallery will open on September 11 in Lausanne and September 12 in Geneva, both in the presence of the artist. She will unveil a new body of work, uniquely divided and intertwined across the two spaces. Further details will be shared soon.
Stay tuned

Fabienne Levy is pleased to welcome Mattania Bösiger to the gallery’s roster of represented artists.

Mattania Bösiger (*1991, CH) lives and works in Basel. In his paintings, he explores the interfaces and overlaps between digital and analog realities. The illusion of space and the credibility of images are recurring themes in his work. Mattania repeatedly uses processes of translation and manipulation. Questions arise about the status of images and content that have repeatedly crossed the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds. Or what can be seen when supposedly familiar objects or motifs are created purely digitally and never existed physically.

Mattania’s work has been exhibited at the following institutions, among others: Kunsthalle Bern, CH (2024); Kunstmuseum Thun, CH (2023); Kunstmuseum Solothurn, CH (2022); Kunsthaus Grenchen, CH (2022, solo); Kunsthalle Basel, CH (2021). Bösiger is a recipient of the Aeschlimann-Corti Stiftung Förderstipendium (2024), the Canton of Solothurn Bildende Kunst Förderpreis (2022), and Artist Resident at the Cité internationale des arts, Paris, FR (2020).

💥 Join us on for the closing of Anna Fasshauer show “It’s a Boom Boom”
🍓With chouquettes, strawberry, coffee

📍Fabienne Levy Geneva - Rue des Vieux-Grenadiers 2
🗓️ Saturday 29th of June, from 10am to 1pm

Using only her body and a hammer, Anna Fasshauer transforms cold, rigid industrial aluminium into fluid and malleable sculptures, expressing her own physicality and maintaining a sense of whimsy and humor. The exhibition, in collaboration with Nagel Draxler Galerie, features pieces that evoke movement through their folds and curves, capturing a playful, childlike spirit.

Each piece evokes movement through its folds and curves. Her sculptures reveal a
deceptively precarious balance. The playful aspect transports us back to the carefree days of childhood.
Anna Fasshauer (*1975 in Cologne) graduated from the Chelsea School of Art and Design in London in 2001.
She has exhibited her work in group and solo shows around the world, including venues such as the Jardin
des Tuileries in Paris, Kunstverein Offenburg and Kunstverein Arnsberg in Germany, and the Goethe Institute
in Beirut. She lives and works in Berlin.

The artist manipulates metal with the same delicate precision and care that one might use when folding a piece of paper. She pinches and twists the metal sheets until the folds appear almost organic, as if they were always meant to be there. Under her skilled hands, the rigid, unyielding material transforms into a smooth, seemingly weightless object.

Anna Fasshauer’s remarkable talent lies in her ability to erase the inherent stiffness of metal, breathing life and playfulness into her sculptures. Her creations exude positive energy, inviting viewers to engage with them on a deeper level.

The exhibition of Anna Fasshauer has opened in Geneva. The artist’s meticulous technique alternates between construction and destruction. The noise made in the workshop is inherent to the work process, an aspect captured by the phonetically titled works that resonate with the sounds of her creative endeavor.

Fabienne Levy is pleased to present her first show of German artist Anna Fasshauer in Lausanne and Geneva. The artist shapes her sculptures using aluminum and industrial paint. The sound of Fasshauer’s hammer hitting aluminium goes “Boom Boom,” a sound word also termed onomatopoeia. In her sculpture construction, the hammer serves as a vital tool, akin to a painter’s brush. This close relationship with her pieces allows Fasshauer to express her own physicality through her work, maintaining her sense of whimsy and humor, often attributing humans features and evocative titles to her brightly colored sculptures.

In this series, specially created for 1-54 called “Lessons on Flying”,
Emeka-Maduka explores fantasy, surrealism, dreams, and imagination, drawing from childhood to adulthood. She references popular fictions like Igbo fables, Alice in Wonderland, and Disney characters, all symbols of imaginative worlds. These references symbolize the transformative power of dreams and flight, linking to the anticipation of travel and exploration.
However, the reality of air travel also brings complexities, including class disparities and emotional layers at airports. 📸
