For the HEAD Gallery Prize, Fabienne Levy invites HEAD (Haute école d’art et de design, Geneva) graduate Célia Noverraz to take over the Geneva gallery. Between dream and altered reality, Le rose ne sauve personne is a plunge into a fragmented universe, at once intimate, strange, and absurd, where everything begins with a dream. After a night of heavy drinking, a group of friends drift into a strange, almost unreal world. Attracted by a huge pink container, they enter it and venture deeper and deeper into places with irrational characteristics.
The exhibition unfolds in three chapters like a gradual immersion into a poetic and introspective narrative. Text, painting, and ceramic sculpture respond to each other in a constant dialogue between writing and visual creation. Each room becomes a fragment of a scene, a narrative space where the works embody memories, characters, and mental places. As they walk through the exhibition, visitors explore a book.
Célia Noverraz (*1999) is a visual artist who graduated in 2024 from a Master in Contemporary Artistic Practices at HEAD (Haute École d’Art et de Design) in Geneva. Her artistic practice explores storytelling through painting and ceramic sculpture, works that stem directly from texts she writes herself. Inspired by street theatre and puppetry, she seeks to immerse the audience in a narrative universe.Her pieces, while artworks in their own right, also serve a scenographic purpose: they must be functional, engaging, and fully integrated into the story being told. They thus become both set elements and characters, serving a vivid and visual narrative.
