Marine Aebischer comes from a countryside in transformation, where the rural image is confronted by urbanization, industrial zones and standardized architecture. This lands-
cape, both familiar and manufactured, has shaped her eye, attentive to the tensions between
surface and structure, decoration and control.
Her practice is rooted in the observation of the spaces we inhabit, both indoors and
out, and the way they shape our behavior, our narratives, and our bodies. Domestic space
plays a central role, not simply as a setting for intimacy, but as an ideological space, charged with expectations, hierarchies, and roles to be played.

for what it reveals of the social constructs associated with taste, success and order. The
domestic setting thus becomes a language: a space where expectations and strategies of
adhesion or resistance are imprinted.
