Open Space #8 Bianca Bondi

The Daydream

Galerie 8

Bianca Bondi’s artistic practices mingle methods with material experimentation. She selects media according to their intrinsic properties or their potential for transformation, seeking possible ways to combine them to create strange new surfaces. Inspired by the occult sciences, her work process may be compared to a ritual practice or an instinctive alchemy. By fostering potential mutations among the elements, she brings slow conceptual performances to center stage on both macroscopic and microscopic levels. The artist draws parallels between her organic encounters and current-day situations or the history of the venue, carrying an ecological message while endeavoring to reveal the intangible.

For her first personal museum exhibition in France, Bianca Bondi will transform Galerie 8 into a landscape of sights, sounds and scents. Inspired by natural phenomena such as hot springs, salt flats, Mexican Cenotes, and evocative of divination practices and offering rituals, The Daydream, is an immersive spiritual space centered around a well, conceived as a source of vital energy to facilitate meditation.
