In 2022 he released his debut on the swiss underground label AuGeil Recrods and toured Japan with Carve Up in 2023. Besides that Rémy is also a composer and artist. He wrote several compositions for the video works of Jana Kohler and is part of the artist collective Clown College. They recently exhibited at Jungkunst and Hotel Tiger and FOMO Art Space. Together with three colleagues he is running the independent book store saxbooks.
I use video, text, sound, performance, and installation in my artistic work. I work alone or collectively, arranging and experimenting, always interested in moving forward together. Gestures from music play a central role here. Letting yourself drift in repetitions, rehearsing, practicing, improvising, finding compromises, and enduring uncertainties. In this very process-oriented “flow,” fine poetic threads are spun that run through a virtual apartement, an abondend tower, past some plaster fruits, dubious underwater expeditions, and small houses at the end of the road and hold - like in a song - the different parts together. Parts of old newspapers, cardboard, paste, and plaster build playful new worlds. Insignificant places suddenly get a weight, thus serving as alternatives to capitalist narratives — a playground in a small town, a squat, a sunken treasure.
