Claudia Barth, Christof Nüssli
–×–=+

For the project –×–=+ artists Claudia Barth and Christof Nüssli have planted seven flags at seven points on a self-appointed north-south line through the centre of Switzerland. The symbols on the flag (–×–=+ ) are a playful deconstruction of the monolithic simplicity of the Swiss flag. This publication was produced during the same period, documenting the seven locations with images and research material. It also contains contributions on border, nation and resistance by Dragica Rajčić Holzner, Andrea Bagnato & Marco Ferrari, Leila Peacock, Initiative Nammou, Niştiman Erdede, Claudia Barth & Christof Nüssli. All 100 books are handmade, signed and numbered.

BIO

Claudia Barth
Christof Nüssli

The work of Claudia Barth (* 1987 in Herrliberg, Switzerland) is centred around a performance practice based on speech and movement. As part of her socially and politically engaged artistic activity, she also creates video works, sculptures and large paper cuts. For Barth telling, passing on and collective remembering of stories is part of the tradition of a feminist practice that makes systemic power structures visible and powerful and solidary connections tangible. Her work is about creating a framework in which collaborators, companions, and partners can engage and move.

Christof Nüssli (*1986) works with (moving) image, text, installation and print graphics. The artist is concerned with power, obtaining and archiving information, state repression, and architecture. He searches for alternative networks, new forms of narration and interstices. He often focuses his attention on incidents that superficially seem banal and meaningless. He shifts these into a new context and thus enables a different kind of reader.
