I am Frau Mond, a Japanese agent in Switzerland with a high degree of intercultural understanding & it’s necessary sensibilities to connect context & content
just like the moon is a satellite the earth Japan & Switzerland can be understood as spheres in the cultural orbit
I see myself as someone that orbits quietly but visibly around & between them reconfiguring distances and relationships rather than representing or translating them
Frau Mond can introduce & translate & offers a process in which cultures, ideas, people, and objects intersect
subtly altering perceptions and generating new meaning operating like a mycelial network invisible, quietly connecting people, places, and cultures reconfiguring existing contexts, meanings & preconceptions
Frau Mond as an agency was shaped through curating events and workshops, selecting, presenting & promoting art & design establishing collaborative projects across various disciplines
a strong emphasis on the “in-between” is my aim, unexpected spaces where relationships emerge, shift, and resonate expressed through writings & installations with invisible but perceptible dynamics
my works are generated in collaboration with artists, producers, institutions & companies
Frau Mond proposes ways of connecting context and rethinking meaning avoiding presenting fixed forms & responding to individual situations & conditions
finds emerging conditions & make them align valuing the process of transformation with its surprises weaving lost relationships revealing visual & sensual landscapes, discovering unexpected
