Anjesa Dellova

Anjesa Dellova (1994) works and lives in Lausanne (CH). She experiments with several media such as photography, video and painting. Photography remains a very important tool in the research for her future paintings in which she seeks above all to capture the fragility and strangeness of the face. «The characters I paint have a deformed face and body, and these two elements even seem dis- connected, as if they no longer belong to each other. The faces are no longer reduced to their plastic form, neither to their eyes, nor to their nose, nor to their mouth. These naked faces are vulnerable and poor. The space of face to face, from then on we find ourselves facing flattened forms that float. «The appearance of others that always escapes me and that I can never fully grasp. Thus the face is no longer limited by its features, it refuses to be contained (Emmanuel Levinas). And in this face-to-face encounter, there is always something disturbing.»
