From 2023 and 2024, research residency of Jessica Warboys in view of the group exhibition Layer of Wildness

In her film ANTIGONE NET, Jessica Warboys turns Antigone into a reflection of the statue of Joan of Arc in Waldighoffen, which villagers immersed in the river to protect from enemy threats. Through these figures from Greek tragedy and medieval history, the artist unearths sacrificial narratives of rebellion, emancipation and disobedience to the yoke of male domination. The result is a sculpture formed from the accumulation of all the costumes worn in the film, while chain mail loops become motifs for the River Paintings, a series of three works created at the Ligsdorf resurgence, near the source. The artist turns the landscape into an open-air studio, where pigments and wax take shape on the canvas.
