Nathalie Bissig’s creativity expresses itself both in drawings and in photography; in previous exhibitions the artist would frequently combine the two media.

Drawing allows her to express what cannot be depicted by means of photography. In her drawings she contrasts photography, as a reflection of the external world, with fleeting images of an inner world. Fascinated with the mountainscapes of Caspar Wolf (1735-1783) and the fantastic figure paintings of John Henry Fuseli (1741-1825), the artist decided, in planning the CARAVAN exhibition, to juxtapose her works for once not with her own photographs, but rather have them enter into a dialogue with older works from the museum’s collection.
