This book traces Gina Proenza's work between 2017 and 2024 through her artworks and exhibitions. Conceived as both a monograph and an artist's book, it can be leafed through in both directions, offering an alternative, two-speed reading experience: on one side, photographs of exhibitions follow one another chronologically, while on the other, a formal and typographical game unfolds in the form of a flip book. The publication, produced in collaboration with graphic designer Pauline Brocart, is accompanied by a booklet and a text by curator and producer Julie Marmet.
Gina Proenza (born 1994 in Bogotá, lives and works in Lausanne) is a French-Colombian artist whose suggestive and sculptural work draws from specific narratives that blend anthropological research, ancestral tales and legends—European as well as Amerindian—and literary influences. Through playful forms and installations reminiscent of modernist sculpture and theatrical displays, she activates multiple scenarios, combines micro and macro stories, and proposes a space for dreamlike thinking and alternative knowledge. By mixing different media such as images, texts, and installations, she succeeds in creating a sophisticated and at the same time sensual visual language, where unstable backgrounds, lettering on advertising light boxes, and animal faces with outstretched tongues collide. Her research is also focused on the question and powers of language—scientific and poetical—its transmission and its social profile.
