Samuel Pajand + Lovesong(s) en

“On the night of 11 December 2018, while my partner was lying on top of me and turning around on the axis of our sexual organs, the image of L’horloge de l’amour came to me. The image persisted to such a point that I felt it necessary to give it material form. On 20 June 2019, we carried out a 12-hour filmed performance behind closed doors, on a mattress of 2.32m in diameter, which served as the basis for L’horloge de l’amour.”

Following studies in audiovisual art, Samuel Pajand (CH/F, 1977, based in Geneva and Paris) has worked as a sonic artist, musician, composer and performer, with, among others, Marco Berrettini, the Gremaud/Gurtner/Bovay collective, Cindy Van Acker et Marie-Caroline Hominal. In 2017, he founded the organisation Trans with Victor Roy, and they created the installation Phare, presented at the Festival de la cité in Lausanne and at BIG in Geneva. Their next project, Champs, will be presented at La Bâtie in Geneva in September 2020. In 2019 he founded Lovesong(s), a rock group with Heleen Treichler on bass and Stéphane Vecchione on drums. This will be the group’s first participation in an exhibition.
