Swiss Institute presents De Anima, uniting works by Louise Bonnet and Elizabeth King in a dialogue on gesture, embodiment, and perception. Bonnet’s expressive paintings and King’s lifelike sculptures investigate the boundary between vitality and artifice. Drawing on history, puppetry, animation, and cultural codes, the exhibition probes questions of agency, gender, and what it means to be alive—or appear to be—amid evolving technologies and societal constructs.
