Performance art meets inflated sculpture by victorine   miiller

Swiss artist victorine   miiller has combined the disciplines of performance, sculpture,
painting and sound for the last fourteen years – with an upcoming exhibition at the zone
contemporaine   oliver  fahrni in Bern, Switzerland entitled ‘wild at heart’ showing her
current work of a PVC squid entitled ‘balloon stratosph6rique’. Miller’s work can be
considered palpably immersive experiences to her audience – each artwork
characterized by the artist herself incased in a seemingly weightless PVC structure,
often depicting that of an animal. her presentations are very much oriented around a
spiritual or emotional dynamism where her presence inside the air-filled creature
often   emits a tangible aura – breathing animistic energy into the beast she inhabits. This
unusual medium fosters a thorough and almost halcyon contemplation for her viewers,
each piece created to impart abstract ideas and somewhat invisible forces. one example
of her compositions is ‘timeline’, a performance in lucerne from 2005, which gives
clear definition for most of her work. The piece is best described lay the deployment
and occupancy of a monolithic transparent elephant, illuminated by natural and powered
light. With the animal in the upright position for the beginning of the showing – mijller
sitting calmly cross-legged in its bowels.
