Winterlicht - Kunst am See 2, Bielersee, Switzerland
2015
A light in the dark can be cozy and enticing, as evidenced by the many pre-Christmas illuminations. However, lights in a dark landscape can also be unsettling. The show "Winterlicht" plays with the different facets of light in the evening nature. Christine Hurni and Christoph Rihs have set up a winter open-air exhibition in the historic park of the Von Rütte estate on Lake Biel. Nine artists have created objects and installations for the park on the lake shore that glow warmly or shimmer mysteriously and unfold different effects as the daylight fades. Eggs Bitschin placed a raft with a kind of oversized colorful lantern on a small duck pond. […] Even more than in summer open-air exhibitions, the weather influences the effect of the show, shrouding it in soft fog, surrounding it with pale twilight or a frosty, clear night.

Islands
Jetzt Kunst #4, Bern, Switzerland
"Islands", Eggs Bitschin's floating pictorial space, seems to be a work of art for twilight: not conspicuous enough during the day, too prominent at night, in late twilight it appears with a soft, glowing, rich intensity. Should her Böcklinian reflection on life and death show a melancholy merging of analog and digital signals? Also melancholy, because you know that like every happy synthesis, this one too can release moments of illusion only for a short phase of transition?
In the hour of fuzziness, the cube mouvant (as a derivation of tableau vivant) sways on the boundary between water and air, historical symbolism and contemporary technology, between the city's exterior and the interior of the images. The white figure on the boat in Arnold Böcklin's "Die Toteninsel" has the appearance of a statue, petrified before its arrival. So the painter sends a work of art on a journey across the water, and the same thing happens in "Islands" with Böcklin's works: they go on a journey into a still unfathomable world of which we know neither the beginning nor the end.
At the same time, the lighter surface of life is also addressed and the viewers/flaneurs of the exhibition "Now Art No. 4" in Bern's Marzilibad can find themselves reflected in the image personnel of the "Lebensinsel" with a view of "Islands". It can be understood as an invitation to enjoy the extensive nature park and to let life flow by like a carefree summer's day in social distraction and to let one's deeper thoughts rest until "Islands" shows its dark side again.

Scheurer's Gate
Gleisdreieck Berlin 2012, Berlin, Germany
2011
For their installation Scheurers Tor at a closed transition from Ostpark to Westpark, which is under construction at the time of the exhibition, Eggs Bitschin used an existing steel gate like a picture pedestal, over which a translucent fabric of color rises. Parts of an untitled painting by the Swiss artist Jean Scheurer served as a template for the iridescent structures of her work. The resulting color print with the character of strongly compressed sky reflections points beyond the clearly contoured park landscape.
Perhaps Scheurer's bridges are a reference to the fact that visual art can penetrate into inaccessible areas where no visitor can physically reach, because the picture surface towers over the park fence. The concept of the “gate” can also be taken literally as a metaphor: the work of art leads from a park path to a color field that, as an endogram, opens up a dimension beyond immediate perception. It shows a technically mediated imagery that, despite all its artificiality, is linked to the experience of nature by allowing the viewer to let their eyes rest on the complex image structures and at the same time keep them in constant, searching movement.

Unité
État d'Âme - Belle Idée - HUG, Geneva, Switzerland
Eggs Bitschin installed in the park of the psychiatric clinic of Geneva, Belle-Idée, a temporary structure initially titled Cellule (Cell) and re-titled Unité (Unit) at the request of the direction of the psychiatry.
This utopian architecture, an open and translucent room, based on the floor plan of a security chamber of the clinic, was the main proposition of the event États d'Âme conceived and organized by the same artists and around which exhibitions, installations and conferences took place.A utopian architecture is the site of possibilities (Guatarri‟s possibles), where an initial encounter between artists and caretakers can take place to discuss informally the questions pertaining to the idea of representation in general and of psychiatry in particular, and thus during these interdisciplinary exchanges preconceived ideas can be abolished or at least their mechanisms revealed. How to deconstruct preconceptions without naming them?
The intent of this artwork was to translate in the open field, with permeable and soft materials, an inside space, solid and closed, which is still today the subject of many fantasies whereas the simple idea of its existence should be unbearable. The paradox of "locking up in order to protect" is a complex, arduous concept that makes sense and no sense at all. How to understand what is really at stake? Perhaps, in starting to dismantle misconceptions, in sharing each of our knowledge and ignorance, respecting of particular practices but outside of any specific practice and while withholding judgment. For example in discussing freely about a work of art such as the one proposed by Eggs Bitschin and at this occasion allowing for naivety, in the sense of a non formatted point of view, and inviting a mixed audience.
