Yolane Rais (b. 1995, Switzerland) is a nomadic artist using photography, video, and installations to explore human traces, animal perspectives, and unseen forces shaping the world. Living in her self-built truck, called Tupp for Tupperware. She embraces movement as a lifestyle and creative spark, crafting “temporary creative zones” where intuition, ecology, and myth intertwine. Her living choise is a personal revolution of every day life on her scale, inspired by others and giving inspiration to others. Her work emerges from the cracks of a control-obsessed system, chasing mystical intersections where new ways of living and relating become possible.

Guided by light’s rather than time and movement, her work is inseparable from her nomadic existence. Shared with a dog, called Eevee, whose gaze plays with human-centric views. They document landscapes and bodies in metamorphosis, blending the surreal with the real to explore other possibilities of life and being together. Her work envisions coexistence as resistance, weaving interconnected stories that honor the ephemeral and transformation. Drawing from animistic beliefs, she sees life as a vibrant, living web.

Her practice thrives on autonomy and a DIY ethos, rejecting consumerist cycles for self-sufficiency. Tupp, mobile studio, merges life and creation in a raw embrace of chaos. 

Just graduated from Fine Art Master degree at the Dirty Art Department in Sandberg Instituut (NL), she holds a Bachelor’s in Photography from ECAL (CH, 2022), a postgraduate diploma in visual communication Designer fillm from ERACOM (CH, 2019), and a CFC in multimedia design from EAA La Chaux-de-Fonds (CH, 2016). Yolane and Eevee challenges notions of home, movement, and belonging, embracing the unknown as a path to liberation and collective reimagination.
