Vanessa Billy’s (b. 1978, CH) sculptural practice explores ecological aspects, energy cycles, dystopian visions and transformative alchemical processes. Using a wide range of both organic and synthetic materials and waste products, including silicone, bio-resin, water, waste oil, metals, glass and plastics, she draws parallels between physical and mental constructs in the context of our relationship with the environment.

In cooperation with the Villa Bernasconi, Geneva.
