Born in 1978, Genevieve Favre lives and works in the canton of Vaud.

«I invite you on a twenty minutes journey to Wonderland. Follow the guide, Alice. With her charming voice, her vocal waves and her slogans, she will lead you to the other side of the mirror where dream and reality merge and where white rabbits incite us to be eccentric! In the role of Alice, I will teach you the benefits of «gaotherapy» to help you to discover your power to dominate others. I will drag you into my trance and reveal the secrets of illumination.»

«Linked up with the Swiss image of cleanliness, this work denotes health and desire for perfection. Seven pressure-activeted lamps are attached to my body, each associated with a melodic phrase that I sing when it's illuminated and which stops when I press on the same lamp again to turn it off. Interrupting sentences I give them different meanings, playing with the sound of the words and onomatopoeic effects.»
