Aline Keller is an artist from Switzerland, currently living and working in Rotterdam. In her practice she questions mans relation to nature as dunking moods.

First of all in quest of particular dispositions, she explores resounding places and wonders about their dynamism. In her past films, the protagonist becomes herself part of the questioned area and the shooting frame reflects a matter of her state of mind. The figure holds the centre of the stage, but the backdrop of the explored nature provides for a contradictory reading of this positioning, marking the identity of the human being as conflictual.

In her recent research, Aline Keller transfers the perception of „nature area“ onto the human body and questions the body as scene. She also investigates spaces such as the white cube or black box as being of „no nature“.

Here again the human body holds the centre of the stage with its capacity of transporting a bodily experience. The mood is no more the only decisive as it becomes stressed by its surrounding, which is of a very different existence.
