Batia Suter
Born in 1967 in Bülach, Suisse
Batia Suter’s work is based on the creation of monumental installations. In her search for printed reproductions, the artist explores multiple visual documents in order to recover their content. Through an archival practice similar to Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas, these innumerable images are then edited and assembled. Through this gradual decontextualization, the print becomes a readymade that gives rise to new meanings and reactions, the unprecedented combination of eclectic images giving them untapped expressive possibilities.
Born in 1967 in Bülach (Switzerland), Batia Suter studied at the art academies of Zurich and Arnhem from 1990 to 1995. She lives and works in Amsterdam.
