One Context, One Work
is a series that invites an artist to conceive a work starting from a context of their choice — one that also becomes the setting in which the work is presented to the public.
SpO₂ to Anne Rochat is the first project created for this series.
The artist responded to the invitation by choosing to immerse herself in a body of water as the context for her creation and performance.
SpO2 was created in 2021 on two sites, on the shores of Lake Geneva, then in a river in Ticino. For each context, a specific partnership is set up by the artists and by Arta Sperto. At La Tour-de-Peilz, with La Becque – Artist Residencies in collaboration with the Théâtre de Vidy. In Geneva, with the Bains des Pâquis and in Ticino, with the Cima Norma Art Festival. This first trajectory, neither live performance tour nor travelling exhibition, invents a model of artistic aquatic cartography.
