○● Zoé Aubry (*1993) entwickelt mittels Fotografie eine kritische, entschlossen militante, feministische und experimentelle Forschungspraxis. Ihr Ansatz untersucht Fragen der Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie sowie des Widerstands gegen Macht- und Unterdrückungssysteme, sowohl mediale als auch digitale. Die von ihr verwendeten beschädigten Bilder wirken, aktivieren, wappnen, verbinden und setzen sich in einer kollektiven Bewegung neu zusammen.
Sie hat einen Bachelor-Abschluss in Fotografie von der ECAL und einen Master-Abschluss in zeitgenössischen künstlerischen Praktiken von der HEAD – Genève. Ihr Buch #Ingrid (2022), das gemeinsam von RVBBOOKS und Gato Negro Ediciones herausgegeben wurde, stand auf der Shortlist für den Autor Book Award bei den Rencontres d’Arles und gewann den Preis für die schönsten Schweizer Bücher.
Ihre Arbeiten wurden in Gruppen- und Einzelausstellungen sowie auf verschiedenen Festivals gezeigt und mit zahlreichen Preisen ausgezeichnet. Ob konvergent oder parallel: Sie engagiert sich in kollektiven und assoziativen Projekten und ist Mitbegründerin mehrerer Initiativen, in denen kulturelle Arbeit und politisches Engagement zusammenkommen, um sowohl für Utopien als auch für konkrete Perspektiven vor Ort einzutreten.

The work questions contemporary identities in the age of digital images, treating the face as a sensitive, intimate and exposed surface where fragmented images place the lived body in tension with its image, revealing fractures of the visible and opening a critical space to question the norms shaping appearances.
