About the Author

Charlotte Laubard is the curator of the Swiss Pavilion at the 58th International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia. Pauline Boudry / Renate Lorenz have been working together in Berlin since 2007. They upset normative historical narratives and conventions of spectatorship, via figures and actions that are staged, layered and re-imagined across time. Their performers are choreographers, artists and musicians, with whom they are engaging in long-term conversations about the conditions of performance, the violent history of visibility and the pathologisation of bodies, while also exploring companionship, glamour and resistance.
