Par la fenêtre, on voit le bateau dans le petit port privé. Il a été sorti du garage. Monsieur l’empruntera sans doute samedi ou dimanche, selon le temps. Il lui demandera de l’accompagner. Comme à chaque fois, elle commencera par refusé. (…) Elle nouera un foulard sur sa tête, chaussera des lunettes de soleil. En un éclair, ils traverseront le lac – elle fermera les yeux, le silence entre eux sera complé par le bruit du moteur.»   Julien Burri, extract of “Prendre l’eau”, pp. 150-151

Photograph realised for the book cover “Muscles” published by Bernard Campiche Editor in March, 2014.   «Tu es debout devant le miroir de la salle de sport – multiplié, difracté – un jeu de cartes – tu soulèves de la fonte et ta bouche se tord – tu soulèves à l’infini – te perds au loin, de plus en plus petit. Alors se passe quelque chose d’étrange – le miroir devient liquide, la surface réfléchissante ondule – un trait, une crête se forme, puis une écume qui n’est plus réfléchissante mais minérale, granuleuse, aussitôt réabsorbée par le miroir – redevient lisse.»   Julien Burri, extract of “Muscles”, p. 40

Drawing realised for the book cover “La Maison” (The House) published by Bernard Campiche Editor in March, 2014.   «Parfois vous descendez au bord du lac. Vous marchez dans les poids de senteur roses et blancs, dans la verveine – traversez les voies ferrées – le ballast se dérobe, les pierres roulent sous vos pieds. Il arrive qu’un train de marchandise passe à côté – d’abord, c’est un sifflement, sur les rails – puis, un son anguleux se déploie, plein d’aspérités – vous bouscule - Vous suivez un ruban de cerisiers sauvages et de saules. Un homme marche en sen inverse, crache – arc de salive dans les ciguës. Aucune ombre. Un papillon, un vulcain, dans les ombellifères. Vous descendez un petit escalier jusqu’au rivage.   Son corps pâle, sur les blocs de pierre noirs. Ta main trouve un petit os d’oiseau, un aileron, structure en éponge, léger comme la pièce d’une maquette d’avion: ici, naissait le sang.»   Julien Burri, extract of “La Maison”, p. 42

“Mr Muscle” is a series of ten drawings, fruit of a collaboration between Yann Amstutz and Julien Burri. At first, there are ten men’s images, ten photographies which present worked out, muscular bodies, sometimes signed by famous names, sometimes posted by amateurs on the Internet. The original images disappeared. Only rests the double representation of these photos, as residues, deposits. A track deformed, transformed. Yann Amstutz realized ten drawings without to observe the development of the image during its creation. Julien Burri completed the drawings of short texts. The words wind as a skin around the fragile images, double them, hem them, as would make it a shadow. Drawings and words are two writings which form a net to trap the memory, give to it a body, a sense.

Serrer la cage thoracique, s’assurer que ça tient.   Manquent tes mains pour nouer le jour et la nuit.   Les maisons sont des blocs aveugles, des grumeaux sans liant. Un fou a emmêlé la ville. Le corps, les pensées, adoptent sa forme par mimétisme.»   Julien Burri, extract of “Si seulement”, p. 32

«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.» Geneviève Favre Petroff
