Nastasia Louveau

Nastasia Louveau presents an working time in situ open to the public during which she will paint a fresco nourished by visits, exchanges and contributions from people who will cross the doors of Mosaic Room. What assemblages of themes, experiences, roles, narratives, individual and collective trajectories will emerge, like a patchwork or a mosaic, from this space-time of exchange? The only fixed starting point, which is a tenuous personal link she has with Vevey: to begin the fresco with a portrait of her paternal grandmother, daughter of a winemaker from Vevey, member of a colony that left Switzerland in the first half of the nineteenth century to settle in Bessarabia, not far from Odessa.
