Denise Bertschi
Denise Bertschi (born 1983 in Aarau, lives and works in Lausanne, Switzerland) is an artist-researche, working at the intersection of art, history and cultural memory. International exhibition activities and research took her to Brasil, South Africa and Korea, places of geopolitical entanglements that she weaves into Swiss historiographical memory and questions them on coloniality. Denise Bertschi's investigative practice translates into academic, as well as artistic forms through the use of media such as film, photography or installations.
