Hexamiles (Mont-Voisin)
For her solo exhibition at the Mauvoisin Dam in Switzerland in the summer of 2019, Suter focused on her ever-expanding archive of
scanned landscape images, which had already started to play an important role in Parallel Encyclopedia #2 (ROMA 284, 2016). Many
of those images depict wastelands, alternating between romantic and menacing views which simultaneously create sensations of
majesty and disorientation. By layering them over each other, a variety of disparate geological and biological environments merge into
composite landscapes we might only recognise from dreams and fairy tales. In the book’s sequence, a kind of adventurous journey
takes shape, pitched between an odyssey, a safari and paradise. The book’s title is derived from the term Hexameter, a poetic form of
writing used in Homer’s Odyssey. Mont-Voisin, which also serves as the title for the exhibition, is inspired by different spellings used
by 18th and 19th century travellers to describe Mauvoisin.
