Memories and observations from the five-decade career of feminist installation artist Manon
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-scène, 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
Durant sa jeunesse, elle étudie les arts et le théâtre à Zurich, avant d'atteindre une certaine renommée avec sa première installation, Salmon-Colored Boudoir, datée de 1974. Installée à Paris à la fin des années 1970, elle se tourne vers la photographie, produisant de nombreuses séries en noir et blanc, dont La dame au crâne rasé. Le travail de Manon explore les thèmes de l'identité, du genre, de l'érotisme et du temps qui passe.
Profondément marquée par une conscience féministe, Manon, contrairement à la plupart de ses contemporaines, ne vise ni la provocation, ni le militantisme. Son travail se situe plutôt dans une sphère fantasmagorique où luxure et jeux de rôles se mêlent en un monde onirique, parfois même cauchemardesque.
Manon a reçu le Prix Meret Oppenheim en 2008.
