Edition of seven unique ceramic sculptures made by Agnès Wyler for Nieves. Each sculpture is an individual depiction of Knigi, the logo character of Nieves and protagonist of the children’s book Knigi by Benjamin Sommerhalder. Nana (なな) is named after the number seven (七) in Japanese.
Agnès Wyler studied philosophy at Lausanne University and art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. She is working in series and is constantly questioning the world and what we perceive as reality, making her practice a never ending instrument for critical thinking. She lives and works in Zurich, her work has been shown since 1988 nationally and internationally in various galleries and institutions, like Haus Konstruktiv, Museum Rietberg, Helmhaus, Shedhalle, or Kunsthalle Zurich. She taught at the F+F art school in Zurich, at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem and in other institutions abroad.
