Gina Folly’s (b. 1983 in Zurich, Switzerland. Lives and works in Basel and Berlin) work investigates the effects of political, cultural and social changes on everyday realities, habits and self-conceptions of the individual. Her research plays around the concept of manipulation and seduction within the sphere of daily life. As a result, everyday objects and situations play a crucial role in her works as motifs or found materials, often searching for a confrontation between humans and their private and public surroundings. These relations and exchanges are emphasized in the way Folly uses, alters and mixes industrial production processes with artisanal or even homemade techniques. Since 2013 Folly has run Taylor Macklin in Zürich together with Adam Cruces, Selina Grüter, Michèle Graf and Thomas Julier. Folly’s work has been shown at Ermes Ermes, Kunsthalle Basel, ML Artspace, Kunsthaus Glarus, SALTS, Spreez, Plymouth Rock, Kunsthaus Baselland, New Jerseyy, CentrePasquArt, Ellis King, Istituto Svizzero among others.
