Living and working in Geneva, Tito Honegger has been exhibiting and publishing regularly since graduating from the École des Beaux-Arts in 1986. Her practice is polymorphous, combining volume through object-sculptures and wall or floor installations made from modest materials or, more recently, ceramic, with drawing, primarily in the form of monotypes. Landscape, elements of nature, and more recently those of the city form a recurring thread in her work, to which references to the history of painting are added.
For the past twenty years, she has also pursued an ongoing collaboration with Paris-based Oulipian writer Jacques Jouet. This body of work has resulted in exhibitions and several publications, including Un énorme exercice (Éditions art&fiction, 2008), Montagneau (Éditions art&fiction, 2012), Paresse (2010), and Caresse (2016), the latter two being artist’s books.

Both engage the hand, the trace in the case of the monotype, the modelling in that of the ceramic, as well as technical operations that demand attentive mastery, one that incorporates the material’s inherent unpredictability. Glazing and firing, like the printing of an extremely thin sheet of paper onto the plate, carried out in reverse, involve reactions that cannot be fully anticipated, moments where control is negotiated with accident. The freely hanging paper, simply pinned to the wall, the work conceived as a single piece made of two sheets, and the question of the plinth and the sculpture all interrogate modes of connection, between support and image, between artwork and space, between stability and suspension. These choices activate relationships between two works of different natures, dissimilar yet related, brought together within the same installation. Line and color, with their iridescence; volume and flatness, a set of polarities that structure a dialogue in which each work echoes the other without ever merging into it.
