Presently showcased within Verbier's natural splendor at an altitude of 2300 meters, Fannon's film - 'You can see me under blankets of foreign offerings' - takes form as an immersive Visual Poetry Walk experienced through billboards and cabins from Croix-de-Coeur to Ruinettes lift stations.
Fannon's work often explores the interplay of human emotions, relationships, and the intricate complexities of the human psyche. Her keen observational skills whilst in Verbier allowed her to capture unseen moments and overlooked touches of nature. This attention to detail, combined with her adeptness at crafting compelling narratives, leads to a work that resonates on a deep emotional level with the audience.
One of Fannon's signature strengths lies in her ability to blend visual aesthetics with thematic substance. Each frame is meticulously composed, and her use of light, color, and framing contributes to the overall mood and atmosphere of her film (that is experienced in nine segments) that guide visitors through this walk. Yet, beyond the visual allure, this work carries layers of meaning and introspection. Delving into this year’s residency themes of water and energy, Fannon invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences, perspectives and relationship to nature.
The artists developed a body of work representing the apex of their residency where their distinct practices converged in a breathtaking display of artistic synergy. Through their shared fascination with challenging perceptions, the artists intertwine their distinctive practices, creating immersive experiences that highlight the interconnectedness of these elemental forces.
