patricia meier


I am an artist from Zurich who primarily works with music and video. In my work, I celebrate everyday life. I search for stories in my daily experiences, and play with their placement in artistic contexts. Besides my interest in documenting the seemingly ordinary and the intimate, other recurring themes in my art are relationships, especially between humans and dogs, and how I deal with grief, loss and identity. I like to playfully engage with language: in my videos through the use of subtitles, and in my music through song lyrics.

the day after we almost broke up (2023)

digital video, sound, 5 minutes




I am focusing on care and conflict, independence and attachment. Vulnerability, desire, hope, tension, insecurity, and harmony coalesce. I am interested in communication: between humans, between dogs, between humans and dogs. Acting as mediators, mirrors and representatives, the dogs are taking the viewers, and thus the two humans in the video, on a walk through different stages of a relationship.
