Jeanno Gaussi
Born in Kabul, and growing up in Kabul, Delhi and Berlin, Jeanno Gaussi’s interests transcend national borders and genres. Initially focused on film and video art, her work now transcends genre boundaries. Starting from a narrative concept, she creates installations that include video, photography, objects and texts. Her art explores the places where she’s worked, travelled and had meaningful encounters. It engages with remembrance, identity and the social and cultural processes associated with them. She develops projects in relation to the place of their creation, examining the unique aspects of her surroundings.
Jeanno joined global dis:connect as an artist fellow.
Message in a Bottle
During her fellowship at global dis:connect, Jeanno will reflect and focus on a fragment of her childhood in India. By working with specific material, she reconnects with memories, decontextualising them and connecting them in a new form and narrative.
