Alix Chauvet is a Swiss-French poet and graphic designer based in Amsterdam, taking pleasure in the possibilities of translation. She received her ba in graphic design from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam, 2020, and has since been working independently and in collaboration with contemporary artists. Investigating the relationship between language and body, her hybrid practice covers a wide range of visual and linguistic experiments—from artist’s book design to experimental translation.

Her method is rooted in slowing down the creative process through the use of analogue and unprofitable techniques such as cut-outs, letterpress, linocut, handwriting and painting. Her poetic approach follows the same logic, prioritising English over her mother tongue as a way to relate to language with both critical detachment and a degree of identification. Her poems appeared in literary magazines such as Blackbox Manifold. Cyclamen (Tenement Press, 2025) a suite of unfaithful translations after Baudelaire’s Fleurs du mal, is Chauvet’s debut collection.
