Céline Brunko Kunst Museum Winterthur | Reinhart am Stadtgarten

08.10.-01.11.2026

Very happy to have been invited to show my dearest work again. I started it during my Master’s program at HGK Fine Arts @hgkbasel_institutkunst and it has taken me to Los Angeles @makcenter Paris @citedesartsparis and so many other great places!

*Like archaeology, which is time read backwards, gravel mines are metaphorically cities turned upside down, though urban culture is unaware of its origins and rural birthplaces…* Lucy Lippard – Undermining

Das Schaffen von Céline Brunko geht buchstäblich in die Tiefen: In ihrem Video New World (2025), präsentiert an der Dezemberausstellung 2025, beschäftigte sie sich am Beispiel von Paris mit der vertikalen Schichtung von Stadtlandschaften und deren unsichtbarem Untergrund. Dort erforschte sie die unzugänglichen Steinbrüche und Katakomben, die das bauliche Wachstum der Weltmetropole letztlich ermöglichten. In ihrem Beitrag für die Ausstellung 3 x 2 kehrt Céline Brunko gewissermassen in ihre Heimat zurück: Remember the earth’s crackles I & Il stammt von 2020 und verbindet spektakuläre Filmaufnahmen von Kiesgruben im Zürcher Unterland mit Einblicken in eine Betonfabrik in der Linthebene. In ihren düster wirkenden Bildwelten, untermalt von einer eindrücklichen Tonspur sowie in der Gegenüberstellung thematisiert sie den Raubbau natürlicher Ressourcen im Hinblick auf den Aufbau urbaner Räume - letztlich drehen sich ihre Werke um aktuelle Fragen von Ökologie und Ökonomie wie auch der akuten Klimakrise - gleichsam als düstere Vorboten einer sich abzeichnenden realen Apokalypse. Inszeniert hat Céline Brunko ihre Videos in einer Art temporären Struktur aus Baugerüsten, die das Foyer im ersten Obergeschoss des Kunst Museum Winterthur | Reinhart am Stadtgarten besetzt.

"A Silent Land IV-VI" & "Undermining" de Céline Brunko ( @celinebrunko ) à @mozinarts 2025.

Les thèmes écologiques et infrastructurels sont au cœur du travail de Céline Brunko (qui vit et travaille à Zurich et à Paris). Pour l’exposition, elle présente trois photographies exposées directement sur des plaques d’aluminium et une pièce sonore qui émerge à travers un tuyau de ventilation.

Les photographies montrent les interventions humaines dans le paysage depuis une vue aérienne extrême : carrières, usines industrielles et axes infrastructurels. Leur esthétique évoque des associations avec des images satellites ou des captures d’écran de Google Earth et soulève la question de savoir si ces sites pourraient être des installations secrètes. Le choix d’images en noir et blanc renforce l’effet de distance et d’abstraction. Il crée un sentiment d’aliénation entre l’extraction des ressources et leur utilisation quotidienne dans la construction et la technologie.

L’œuvre sonore Undermining (2017-2025) y introduit une dimension auditive. Entendues à travers un tuyau de ventilation, les enregistrements de gravières, d’usines et d’autres environnements industriels transforment un élément architectural de l’espace d’exposition en un corps résonnant.

Céline Brunko (1987) vit et travaille à Zurich. Elle a étudié la photographie à l’Université des arts de Zurich et les Beaux-Arts à l’Académie d’art et de design FHNW de Bâle. Ses œuvres vidéo, audio et basées sur des objets abordent principalement des thèmes tels que l’architecture, l’utilisation des sols, l’exploitation minière et la nouvelle matérialité. Dans sa pratique, elle utilise des récits spéculatifs comme méthode pour concevoir des scénarios futurs possibles.

Ses œuvres ont été présentées dans le cadre d’expositions et de festivals en Suisse, en France, aux États-Unis, en Autriche et en Italie.

Parallèlement à ses activités d’exposition, elle participe depuis 2016 à un projet de recherche architecturale à Chisinau, en Moldavie, et a eu l’occasion de travailler sur un projet interdisciplinaire à l’université de Toronto.

A Silent Land III, 2024
Print on aluminum, aluminum frame, 100x133.33cm
Developed during my time at the @makcenter
Was part of The Dezemberausstellung Fokus @kunst_museum_winterthur

Schindler called Los Angeles a paradise on earth, and he considered it the ideal environment for the next stage of truly modern architecture. … In the Los Angeles suburb lies the largest aggregate mining area in the state, if not the nation. The area is “so full of holes that more of the land in the city is a pit than not”. (Céline Brunko) - Inspired by Lucy R. Lippard by @celinebrunko

Fossils III, 2025
Tin cast, plexiglass boxes by @aucadredor, 26x23x3.5cm
Developed during my time at @citedesartsparis
Was part of the Dezemberausstellung @kunst_museum_winterthur

Drawing on Aldo Rossi’s understanding of the city as a built archive of collective memory, the work examines these historical layers and their interconnections. The underground becomes a space in which social and political forces lie hidden, overlap, and can be experienced as a resonating body. Fossils and relics speak from a temporal depth that transcends human hierarchies and show how history materializes. (Céline Brunko) by @celinebrunko

… Beneath the built, horizontal structure lies a network of catacombs, former quarries, mining and industrial sites, and architectural relics.
