Retour en images de l’exposition Bellissimissime
Vernissage – Mardi 26 août, dès 18h30
“Un regard sur les héritages, là où l’image devient instrument de pouvoir et les corps se confrontent à une culture saturée par les médias.”
Avec les artistes @ursulinadelombardia@rotgrllll@casaciccamuseum@p.akkiana
À travers leurs œuvres se dessinent des trajectoires fragmentées : artistes déraciné·e·x·s, artistes face à l’écran de télévision, artistes en transit. Chaque geste, chaque image, chaque installation devient une archive sensible des dernières décennies italiennes, où le féminin, le désir et la résistance se négocient à travers la mémoire intime et les récits collectifs.
Dans One gee in fog, le passé dialogue avec le futur, et les imaginaires se redessinent en mouvement. Ici, l’art ne reflète pas seulement le monde : il transforme les rapports entre genre, pouvoir et société, et crée des territoires où l’intime et le collectif se rencontrent.
Un projet soutenu par la Ville de Genève.
SCENTED PANTHER (STUDIO)
Aurelio Di Virgilio
16.09.2025 / 19h
One gee in fog
Rue de Vermont 12
CH-1202 Genève
As part of his residency at one gee in fog, Aurelio opens to the public the research process of Scented Panther, consisting of a choreographed meditation on the medieval figure of the perfumed panther, an animal described in bestiaries and a symbol of embodied poetry, strength, seduction, elusiveness, and resistance. The performance, conceived in collaboration with the performer Elena Sgarbossa, moves between presence and absence, between magic and disenchantment, inviting the audience to follow the traces of an extinct animal, where repetition becomes a tool to reflect on the body, time, and memory.

Dans le cadre de sa résidence à one gee in fog, Aurelio ouvre au public le processus de recherche de Scented Panther — une méditation sur la figure médiévale de la panthère parfumée, animal mentionné dans les bestiaires et symbole de poésie incarnée, de force, de séduction, d’évasion et de résistance. La performance, conçue en collaboration avec la performeuse Elena Sgarbossa, se déplace entre présence et absence, entre magie et désenchantement, invitant le public à parcourir les traces d’un animal disparu — où la répétition devient un outil pour réfléchir sur le corps, le temps et la mémoire.

La performance, con la collaborazione di Elena Sgarbossa, si muove tra presenza e assenza, tra magia e disincanto, invitando l’audience a percorrere le tracce di un animale estinto — e in cui la ripetizione diventa uno strumento per riflettere sul corpo, sul tempo e sulla memoria.

Vernissage mardi 26 août
dès 18h30
Bellissimissime explore les héritages d’une génération d’artistes italien·ne·s né·e·s et formé·e·s dans les années 1990, au cœur du berlusconisme. À travers leurs œuvres se dessine un paysage où l’image devient instrument de pouvoir, où les corps se confrontent à une culture saturée par les médias et leurs promesses de succès.
Ces pratiques témoignent de trajectoires fragmentées : artistes déraciné·e·s, artistes face à l’écran de télévision, artistes en transit. Chaque œuvre résonne comme un chapitre d’une histoire commune, où la mémoire intime se mêle aux récits collectifs, et où la représentation du genre se négocie entre désir, spectacle et résistance.

✨ Résidence en cours ✨
10 juillet > 30 septembre 2025
Nous avons le plaisir d’accueillir en résidence à one gee in fog l’artiste Aurelio Di Virgilio (IT), formé à l’École du Piccolo Teatro de Milan et actif dans le domaine des arts performatifs. Sa recherche croise danse et arts visuels pour créer des environnements intimes et troublants.
Depuis 2020, son travail a été présenté dans des festivals, théâtres et institutions artistiques tels que le MAXXI – L’Aquila, Cango – Cantieri Goldonetta (Florence), La Fondazione Nicola Del Roscio (Rome), Bmotion Festival – Operaestate (Bassano del Grappa), Fabbrica Europa (Florence), Mattatoio et la Sala Santa Rita / Palaexpo (Rome), Lavanderia a Vapore (Turin).
Son travail explore l’intimité comme un espace coopératif, un terrain sensible partagé entre performeur·euse et spectateur·ice, où s’interrogent les formes du présent.
Aurelio est actuellement en résidence entre Genève et l’Italie (Pollinaria), et développe également des collaborations avec la chorégraphe Masako Matsushita (IT/JP) et le centre chorégraphique Tasdance (Launceston, Tasmanie) dans le cadre de Boarding Pass Plus Dance.
Bienvenue Aurelio — bon travail 🌿

Thank you to everyone who joined us for From Soil to Spirits: Small Rituals of Coming Together.
Your presence, warmth, and attentiveness shaped a space that felt both grounded and open.
Building on this spirit of unfolding connection, we came together around stories, rituals, poems, songs, and meals, where we reached toward tending to sensorial needs, practicing translation, circulating roles, and holding space for imagination. These became gentle tools of collective resistance, also against the standardized binary forms of cultural and countercultural production. We reclaim space for diverse ways of being, loving, and relating not just as an act of survival, but as a way to create worlds beyond the structures that seek to contain us.
A huge acknowledgement to all who co-shaped this gathering: Maryam Jafari Azarmani @m.jafari.azarmani and Vahid Heroabadi @vahidheroabadi3 , invited in collaboration with the fugitive publishing house hhhhh @hhhhhpublishing , along with Beychu Droma @artrepresent and Byungseo Yoo @byungseo_yoo .
This gathering was part of an ongoing process gently nurtured by artist-curator duo Hit Man Gurung and Sheelasha Rajbhandari, shaped in collaboration with Richard Le Quellec, @rotcapli , and @erell._.lp during their residency in Geneva.
This residency is supported by Pro Helvetia New Delhi, in partnership with Embassy of Foreign Artists and One Gee In Fog.

☄️This gathering expands on the intimate moments of reflection and conversations artist-curator duo Hit Man Gurung and Sheelasha Rajbhandari have been nurturing in collaboration with Richard Le Quellec, Mina Achermann, and Erell Le Pape during their residency in Geneva. The residency is supported by Pro Helvetia New Delhi, in partnership with the Embassy of Foreign Artists and One Gee in Fog. The duo’s practice moves fluidly between major international platforms such as the 11th Asia Pacific Triennial (2024), the 17th Biennale Jogja (2023), and the Nepal Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2022) and more intimate, socially engaged work. During their time in Switzerland, they have been meeting with a range of artists and cultural practitioners, continuing their commitment to dialogue, collaboration, and collective imagination.

☄️Small Rituals of Coming Together is a quiet continuation of the slow practice of simply being together. Over the past months, Hit Man and Sheelasha have approached their residency as a living, shifting ground for relational exploration. Rooted in conversation, their process has approached collaborations and friendships not as fixed entities, but as fragile, transformative acts, continually co-constructed. Building on this spirit of unfolding connection, we come together around stories, rituals, and meals, where translation, role circulation, and imagination become gentle tools of collective resistance against standardized forms of cultural and countercultural production.

✨From Soil to Spirits : Small Rituals of Coming Together✨
Dreams and speculative visions are acts of reclamation, we reassert our agency and refuse the limitations imposed upon us. In a world where oppressive systems act to control identities, land, and bodies, imagining otherwise is itself resistance.
Where extractive economies benefits from burnout, anxiety, imposter syndrome and isolation,
small rituals of coming together,
friendships,
communal acts,
shared meals,
moments of rest,
collective imagination,
become acts of defiance and healing.
We reclaim space for diverse ways of being, loving, and relating: not just as an act of survival,
but as a way to create worlds beyond the structures that seek to contain us.

Retour en images de l’exposition "Et le corps est une ville qui se soulève"*, une exploration des géographies affectives, là où le corps est territoire.
Avec les artistes @cha.rlottedurand et mil-an
Le long de déplacements motivés par des questions sociales, économiques, territoriales, émergent des corps marqués par le travail. Ils se renouvellent sans cesse, nourris de ses passages, des rencontres qui effleurent leur peau et modifient le rythme de leur pas. Ce qui est laissé derrière soi n’est pas perdu, mais digéré et accumulé, dans un processus de séparation et d’incorporation, archivé comme mémoire musculaire.
Ici, chaque mouvement est une revendication, chaque trace laissée sur le sol raconte une histoire de résistance, de désir, d'identité. Le corps n’est plus un simple passager, mais un acteur qui modifie, qui transforme l’espace, qui fait surgir des territoires nouveaux, façonnés par l’émotion et la mémoire.
One gee in fog se fait le théâtre de cette révolte silencieuse, où les mouvements redéfinissent et cartographient des espaces sensibles, et créent des territoires où l'intime et le collectif se rencontrent.
*titre inspiré par le livre "La plus secrète mémoire des hommes" de Mohamed Mbougar Sarr.
