Marion Tampon-Lajarriette’s practice explores phenomena related to vision, memory and the construction of knowledge
Franco-Swiss artist Marion Tampon-Lajarriette lives and works in Geneva. She graduated with a Master’s degree in Arts and New Media from HEAD – Geneva. Her work is driven by several major themes: phenomena related to vision and memory, access to the invisible, and the construction of knowledge. She creates immersive installations that blend organic materials, reinterpreted technologies, video and performance. Since 2019, she has developed site-specific research and fostered transdisciplinary dialogues through collaborations with scientists, artists and communities in Switzerland, Mexico and Bolivia.
Her work has been exhibited internationally since 2006, with notable presentations at the Palais de Tokyo (Paris), MAMCO (Geneva), the Swiss Institute (New York), MOCA (Toronto), the Kyotographie festival (Kyoto), and the Simón I. Patiño Foundation (La Paz). Since 2004, she has received numerous grants and residencies, including a Swiss Federal Art Grant (2009), an artist residency in New York awarded by the State of Geneva (2013), as well as residencies at the Swiss Institute in Rome (2017), KIOSKO in Santa Cruz (2023), and Materia Gris in La Paz (2024). Her work is part of various public collections.
Tampon-Lajarriette has been selected for the first edition of the Resonance residency.
