Eliane Bertschi (*1990 in Aarau, Switzerland) currently lives in Zurich, Switzerland and partly in Brussels, Belgium. She studied film at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Lucerne, Switzerland. There she graduated with a BA and with her short film "Opaque", which was screened at several film festivals in and around Switzerland and won the first prize at the "Festival Ciné Jeunesse Suisse". In 2018, she completed an MA in Choreography and Arts at ISAC Institute at the "Academie royale des Beaux-Arts" in Brussels.
Bertschi is a multidisciplinary artist and working in the fields of performance, film and theatre. Currently she is a PhD student at ZHdK Zurich and Kunstuniversität Linz, Austria, where she is researching the relationship between imagination, landscape storytelling and is developing a hybrid film in alpine Switzerland.
She is interested in systems that interrogate their own construct and thereby make them transformable, nomadic binding systems that are not only based on individualistic truth systems and knowledge productions.
