Ines Marita Schaerer (CH) is an artist and fascia practitioner. She lives and works in Brussels and Switzerland. Her work extends across poetry, performance, sound art and experimental music.

Her practice originates in the subversion of an ocular or eye/I-centric culture.
It aims for the participation of the “spectator” in order to create a poly-sensuous attention to the present moment. Through writing and voicing, her work attempts
at embodying words, wording the body, sensing words, and wording senses. With speculations and imaginings, she wants to test, taste and rehearse interdependencies and interconnections with other beings, entities and environments. 

Words take the shape of an (im)material sculpture. A hybrid body of formulations and formats; ideas, concepts, and notions appear, reappear and transform. They find a temporary appearance in the form of live events such as (sound) performances, readings, installations, spatial situations, publications, posters. She is partucularly interested in the ephemeral and versatile nature of (spoken) language, on the threshold of expression, between the semantic and non-semantic/sound, its presence and performativity, how it effects and affects the (exhibition) space.

In her more recent performances, she has opposed the format of POETRY with
the entropic tradition of NOISE music as tools to challenge the boundaries of the (neoliberal) self. In a feminist logic, she is particularly interested in sensibility and vulnerability as constitutive forces.

Her practice is informed by the given context, permeable for various forms of knowledge, nourished and driven by thinkers, co-thinkers, collaborators and allies.
