This builder of singular worlds works through accumulation and confrontation; it is through the displacement that places two dissimilar things side by side that a new vision emerges. Scales are disrupted, temporalities reversed, species crossed and uncrossed. In her studio part cabinet of curiosities, part clinic for wounded objects one is moved by this incongruous and touching little community watching you, by these patched-up survivors, the arm of one often replacing the wing of another. Alexandra collects, piles up, repairs, recycles, reinvents, moving from miniature models one would love to curl up inside to extreme-scale scenographic spaces in which one can surrender oneself. She constructs her stagings with rare dexterity and inventiveness, handling a power drill like a Chinese brush and a colossal partition wall like a notebook page. One thinks of L\u00e9vi-Strauss\u2019s bricoleur, capable of carrying out a great number of diverse tasks and whose challenge is to transcend circumstance with the \u201cmeans at hand.\u201d And since, for her, the world would be inconceivable without the music that runs through her veins, she mixes with that same invigorating sense of crossbreeding that she applies to everything. Deeply involved in the local associative network, she is a hyperactive volunteer within Art et la Mati\u00e8re (a platform for collecting and reselling materials for creative use) and president of the lively association Microsiphon, a concert hub and showcase for micro-publishing.<\/p>\n<h2>Career<\/h2>\n<div class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-25\">\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [&amp;:has([data-writing-block])&gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:5ad152dc-0966-4b5c-b2e5-5604315838a1-2\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-4\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-1\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"e5b6117c-89dc-49af-bb4f-02a3a69256cf\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-2\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word dark markdown-new-styling\">\n<p data-start=\"1649\" data-end=\"2304\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">DNSEP, Mulhouse School of Art (1999)<br data-start=\"1685\" data-end=\"1688\" \/>Head of set design at Noumatrouff, Mulhouse (2000\u20132007)<br data-start=\"1743\" data-end=\"1746\" data-is-only-node=\"\" \/>Sets and scenography for the Momix Festival in Kingersheim (since 2006)<br data-start=\"1817\" data-end=\"1820\" \/>Sets and scenography for the M\u00e9t\u00e9o Festival in Mulhouse (since 2007)<br data-start=\"1888\" data-end=\"1891\" \/>Manager of \u201cLa Vitrine,\u201d Mulhouse (2010\u20132011)<br data-start=\"1936\" data-end=\"1939\" \/>Participatory mural with children from IMP Jules Verne, Mulhouse (2015)<br data-start=\"2010\" data-end=\"2013\" \/>Parent\/child workshops at the Mulhouse Resource Center (2016)<br data-start=\"2074\" data-end=\"2077\" \/>Scenographic interventions and set design for the Colmar Book Fair, La Passerelle in Rixheim, the Eurock\u00e9ennes de Belfort, the Entrevues Festival in Belfort, Sc\u00e8nes de Rue in Mulhouse, the Mulhouse Christmas Market, and Motoco.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entering Alexandra Weisbeck\u2019s universe means accepting the loss of one\u2019s bearings and sometimes rediscovering others long thought buried.
