Piera Cadruvi
(Spoken Word)

On stage, Piera Cadruvi poses the big and absurd questions of life: How rebellious is it to fall in love with yourself? What if we talked about men the way we talk about women? With feminist and political texts, a pinch of humour and a tablespoon of charm, she invites the audience to reflect and smile.

Christoph Rütimann
(Installation / Performance)

Christoph Rütimann's works range from performance, photography, sound, text and painting. With his playful approach, he expands the rationality of scientific discourse to include the unpredictable. His works—from handrails in global locations to stained glass—question artistic conventions and allow the audience to constantly discover new perspectives.

Zsuzsanna Gahse
(Literatur)

Zsuzsanna Gahse writes in the space between prose and poetry. Her texts are characterised by sound, wit and precise observations, inviting readers to explore the vitality of language and society. With alliteration, changes of tempo and ironic twists, she opens up spaces in which words move and redefine the world.

Juliette Uzor
(Art / Dance)

Juliette Uzor's work combines movement, rhythm and space into a poetic choreography. Her performances explore the relationship between bodies and their surroundings, staging ambivalent dynamics and aesthetic breaks. Inspired by body-weather practices, she creates intense, temporally intertwined moments of encounter.

Tobias Kaspar
(Photography / Video / Installation)

Tobias Kaspar (born 1984, Switzerland; lives in Riga and Zurich) moves between art, fashion and consumer culture. Using photography, video and installation, he questions the mechanisms of the market by employing its strategies — often with subtle humour and subversive gestures. His project Rented Life, created during the first two years of COVID-19, shows a particular sensitivity to living conditions and economic realities: Kaspar broke down his everyday life into individual expenditure items (LOTs) and made them available to an audience on a subscription basis. With surprising gestures — from cardboard smartphones to prints made from butter wrappers — he addressed the relationship between art, the market and personal existence.
