Selina Trepp (Swiss/American b.1973) is an artist researching economy and improvisation. Finding a balance between the intuitive and conceptual is a goal, living a life of adventure is a way, embarrassment is often a result.
She works across media, combining performance, installation, painting, and sculpture to create intricate setups that result in photos, drawings and animations.
In addition to the studio-based work, Selina is active in the experimental music scene. In this context she sings and plays the videolah, her midi controlled video synthesizer, to create projected animations in real-time as visual music. She performs with a varying cast of collaborators and as one half of Spectralina, her long running audiovisual collaboration with Dan Bitney.

[…] Selina Trepp spoke to us from Chicago in mid-October. The last year was meant to be a busy one for Trepp, but of course, like all of us, things changed and she found herself with a tremendous amount of productive studio time. In addition to her art, Trepp taught remotely while juggling to responsibilities of parenthood during a pandemic with her partner. Her project Woven is a five-minute collaborative animation consisting of “visual music” that was very much pandemic-driven. The project was commissioned by the city of Chicago to be projected on the two and a half acre side of the Merchandise Mart building. To hear more about this work and other aspects of Selina Trepp’s practice, listen to the complete interview. […]
