In one section of the exhibition, visitors encounter an installation created around one main video. Playing alongside a series of drawings, smaller tablets display footage that follows the artist in her studio as she activates her body and diverse objects in front of a green screen, highlighting the human presence behind digital creation. Surrounding the screens are hundreds of small blind-contour drawings, wigs, and handmade props that shaped the work, offering an intimate glimpse into how the piece came together.

Beth Frey’s current solo exhibition 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 continues at the gallery until December 20, 2025.

Exposition en cours | Current exhibition : 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 – Beth Frey @bethisms

“I call all of these creations “self-portraits,” whether or not there is any resemblance to me. By identifying them as such, the act of art-making becomes a performance, and I become the characters that I convey. These avatars navigate scenarios of creation, destruction and self-sacrifice in relation to the worlds that surround them.”

- Beth Frey

🎭

« Je qualifie toutes ces créations d’autoportraits, qu’elles me ressemblent ou non. En les identifiant ainsi, l’acte de création devient une performance, et je deviens les personnages que je représente. Ces avatars évoluent dans des situations de création, de destruction et de sacrifice de soi, en relation avec les mondes qui les entourent. »

One of the four videos featured in 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙚𝙨 by Beth Frey, currently on display at the gallery, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the artist at work. This grouping of short clips reveals how Frey inserts herself into her videos– using her body against a green screen to develop a process of body-collage or digital puppetry, animating her drawings imperfectly through her own movements.

This work culminates in the video piece 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 (the exhibition’s title piece), in which her created creatures—also embodiments of herself—build an effigy of “The Artist,” a cartoonized version of Frey that collapses the boundary between maker and made. Playful in nature, Frey’s videos’ cartoonish energy mirrors the tactility of her works on paper. Here, the body reasserts itself—stitched into the image and leaving traces of lived experience within the digital space.
