Amy O'neill also shows The Granddaddy of them all at the Centre d’art contemporain Chapelle Saint-Jacques.
Born in 1971 in Beaver (USA), she lives in New York.
Amy O’Neill delves into American and Swiss folklore in search of subjects which she instils with a disturbing power. Inspired by an abandoned amusement park, ‘The Old Woman’s Shoe’ is an original work commissioned by the national public commissioning programme for le Printemps de septembre.
What does the festival’s subtitle “Here where I am doesn’t exist” mean to you?
An idea inspired by geological time versus the mental space, a disparity between the eternal and temporality.
What does art allow you to achieve?
To reflect on the cultural and historical context of our time. To humanise society through often almost imperceptible questions relating to gender, religion, capitalism, evolution.
