Kelly Tissot - Licorice Harmony

Kelly Tissot – ​“Lico­rice Harm­ony”

In her artis­tic prac­tice, Kelly Tissot (*1995, FRA) explo­res the trans­for­ma­tion of land­scapes – shaped by eco­no­mic, eco­lo­gi­cal, and poli­ti­cal pro­ces­ses. She also reflects on the ever-evol­ving images we con­s­truct of nature and land­scape.

In late summer 2024, Tissot con­duc­ted an artis­tic field study in the Limmat Valley. She visi­ted some of the region’s last remai­ning working farms and used her camera to docu­ment places situa­ted at the inter­sec­tion of nature and human use. The result is a series of ana­lo­gue black-and-white pho­to­graphs that illu­mi­nate the ten­sion bet­ween cul­ti­va­ted land­scape and aes­the­tic per­cep­tion. The work group Lico­rice Harm­ony is on view in an emp­tied barn at Klos­ter Fahr.

In these images, Tissot reve­als the fra­gile beauty of places where human acti­vity and the natu­ral world clo­sely con­verge – poetic, pre­cise, and con­tem­pla­tive

Thanks to the col­la­bo­ra­tion with Fahr Erleb­nis, the pro­ject is embedded directly within the monas­tery’s working agri­cul­tu­ral envi­ron­ment – crea­ting an imme­diate and tan­gi­ble con­nec­tion bet­ween art, daily life, and agra­rian cul­ture.
