Cummings & Pifko

The Cummings & Pifko collective was born in 2019 from an installation that revealed the strength of their complementary worlds. For more than 25 years, Gaëtane Cummings, an artist with diverse abilities, has been transforming her experiences in a wheelchair into creativity and activism. Art, a space of freedom, leads her to explore performance, documentary, painting, installations, video, interventions and poetry. Sigmund Pifko, a multidisciplinary artist, illustrator, painter, graphic designer and enthusiast of digital arts and scenography, approaches each project as a research-creation, guided by sensitivity and curiosity. Together, they are part of the CripArt movement, which proposes to create and think about art differently while denouncing ableism. Their practice, nourished by the experience of marginalisation, seeks to transform exclusion into beauty, to reveal invisible realities and to open up new perspectives.
