(b. 1973, Zurich, CH) works and lives between Zurich, CH and London, UK. She holds a Diploma in Fine Art from Zurich University of the Arts (2007) and an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London (2010). She works across video, text, sound and performance, to situate the body as a site of knowledge production using movement and voice to create alternative forms of discourse. Bachmann intends on subverting languages power and political relations that she believes is attached to normative vocabulary, opening-up spaces, or gaps, in which to “embody vocabulary”, where new meaning can be created. Her predominantly collaborative practice, reflects this subversion, evoking a sense of togetherness and reciprocity, searching for meaning away from the prescribed set of definitions she considers knowledge production exists within.
