Swiss artist Manon (born 1940) came to prominence in the 1970s with her installation The Salmon coloured boudoir, a meticulously furnished bedroom in a Zurich loft filled with fetish objects, feathers and glittery materials. Her intimate installations and staged photographs explore social transformations around sexuality and gender. This volume of her writings gathers diaristic entries made for a 2005 documentary on her work, “about the passage of time, and about the passage of my times,” as she puts it.

Published here for the first time, Feathers offers a succinct look back on Manon's life and art, interweaving memories with everyday concerns and observations. In contrast to her elaborate mises-en-sc�ne, what interests the author of these notes is not pageantry and sensationalism, but minute mood swings, poetic observations of her urban and natural surroundings, the trials and tribulations of the heart, and reflections on aging and transience.

About the Author

Manon (n�e en 1946 � Berne, vit et travaille � Zurich) est consid�r�e aujourd'hui comme la plus importante repr�sentante de l'art de la performance en Suisse, tout en s'inscrivant dans l'avant-garde europ�enne du d�but des ann�es 1970.
Durant sa jeunesse, elle �tudie les arts et le th��tre � Zurich, avant d'atteindre une certaine renomm�e avec sa premi�re installation, Salmon-Colored Boudoir, dat�e de 1974. Install�e � Paris � la fin des ann�es 1970, elle se tourne vers la photographie, produisant de nombreuses s�ries en noir et blanc, dont La dame au cr�ne ras�. Le travail de Manon explore les th�mes de l'identit�, du genre, de l'�rotisme et du temps qui passe.
Profond�ment marqu�e par une conscience f�ministe, Manon, contrairement � la plupart de ses contemporaines, ne vise ni la provocation, ni le militantisme. Son travail se situe plut�t dans une sph�re fantasmagorique o� luxure et jeux de r�les se m�lent en un monde onirique, parfois m�me cauchemardesque.
Manon a re�u le Prix Meret Oppenheim en 2008.
