Synopsis

Un corps en exil cherche une nation. Il découvre un territoire immersif fait de ruptures, de tensions, de désir, et de tout ce qu’un territoire ne peut contenir.

Biographie

Issé Tusevo, née en Angola et basée à Genève, inscrit sa pratique à l’intersection des intelligences en réseau, de l’image, du pouvoir et de l’identité. Son travail met en tension les continuités coloniales, les politiques de visibilité et les poétiques de la relation.

Formée aux arts visuels, elle combine des méthodologies de recherche ancrées dans le terrain et des approches immersives afin de questionner les récits dominants. Son exploration des pratiques documentaires et de leurs formes hybrides et augmentées, envisagées comme gestes performatifs, fait du corps une archive, mobilise l’hantologie comme matière et considère les régimes de vision comme des infrastructures affectives de l’incertitude et de l’ambivalence.
