We’re delighted to present Rachel Marks’ “Ouroboros” (2025), a new site-specific installation created for The Little Art Window in Gstaad.
Taking its name from the ancient symbol of the serpent consuming its own tail, Ouroboros reflects on the continual cycle of creation, loss, and renewal. Beginning with a seed and a serpentine form, the sculpture unfolds through organic shapes that evoke growth, memory, and transformation. Crystallised book pages emerge like leaves, suggesting language slowly returning to matter.
Rachel Marks (b. 1986) is an American-born, Paris-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice bridges nature, ritual, language, and metamorphosis. Recent projects include “Palímpsēstos Florae” at Christie’s Paris (2025) and her monumental installation “Symfolia” at the Philharmonie de Paris at the Cité de la Musique (2024).
The Little Art Window is located on Alte Lauenenstrasse, in the middle of Gstaad village just behind the Post Hotel. Please drop by once you’re up and slowing down.
