ÉTRANGEMENT AMUSANT
2023
Performance / Multidisciplinary Solo Exhibition
La Brique, Bulle, CH

What if the glossy, Instagrammable image began to crack—letting seep a
wild, hairy, primal nature? Skins in distortion, fragmented faces spreading
across the walls. Parasite-bodies waving at you from behind silky platinum
hair. In the layered terrain of being and appearing, self-perception is in con-
stant flux—heightened by social media and prevailing beauty norms. Anja
Jenny’s bizarre works—like fragments from a dream or a nightmare—invite
us to reflect on our relationship with our own bodies and self-image. Let’s
take a moment to appreciate the delicate charm of flesh, pores, sheen, and
the grotesque. That fascination that flirts dangerously with disgust—and
makes this world strangely amusing.
