Overview

The publication Noemi Pfister: Heart on Sleeve accompanies the exhibition of the same name at the Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur (September 6–November 23, 2025). In her paintings the artist combines motifs from art history as well as pop culture. She symbolically weaves themes such as youth, digitality, ecology, and the human form into multilayered narratives. Her dreamlike landscapes are inhabited by enigmatic figures that seem to belong to a parallel world. Their anatomies appear distorted—they lounge on skateboards, scroll on their phones, or immerse themselves in video games. The visual language at times echoes the compositions of Old Master paintings, yet their clothing, postures, and props reflect today’s youth culture. By intertwining the familiar with the uncanny, her works probe the kinds of communities we might inhabit in the future. The richly illustrated catalogue features texts by Raphael Gygax, Damian Jurt, and Valerie Keller.
