The Verbier 3-D Foundation presents new work by artists-in-residence Haroon Mirza and Helga Dóróthea Fannon.
The artists were invited for a research-led residency in Verbier to become immersed in the local environment and mythologies of the region, while responding to current global debates around the topics of water and energy. Across two distinct locations, visitors are invited to navigate the natural environment in a dynamic exchange that elevates our awareness and enriches our understanding of the surrounding landscape. Visitors first become enveloped in a mesmerizing Visual Poetry Walk – made up of nine film segments crafted by Helga Dóróthea Fannon and audio by Haroon Mirza – and become active participants through the incorporation of QR codes, navigating the interplay between video, image, text and space. The walk serves as a window into the artists' creative process and their personal environment, research and the transformative power of the residency experience. The remaining site invites visitors to the Verbier 3-D Foundation Sculpture Park to encounter a new installation by Haroon Mirza that seamlessly blends nature, light, and water into a mesmerizing sensory experience.
