Fabiana de Barros was born in 1957 in São Paulo. She lives and works in Geneva. She creates interventions and performances which are all works in progress, continuing and transforming themselves from one exhibition to another. During this process, she uses various mechanisms to establish an individual relationship with each visitor. Following her Tours du Monde, a project involving displacement in space and in time around a few large towers at various points of the globe, she created a weird travel agency called Aller/Re-Tour. This agency offers visitors a motionless trip in which Fabiana de Barros talks with them and shows them drawings and paintings.

The site was created in coproduction with the centre pour l'image contemporaine (saint-gervais genève)*, with the help of the WHO information system management division.
