Augustin Rebetez & Friends

Augustin Rebetez was born in Switzerland, in 1986. Trained as a photographer, he also uses stop-motion video, painting, writing, and installations to shape his artistic universe. Since 2009, he has regularly shown his work in Switzerland and abroad, alternating between solo exhibitions and collaborative projects. He often teams up with other artists, his travel companions from the fringes of photography. His pictures evoke a surprising maelstrom of delicate darkness, spontaneous poetry, and biting humour. They pulsate with rawness and wonder, with stunning and refreshing freedom. Augustin Rebetez was awarded the Photo Folio Review by the Rencontres d’Arles 2010, the Swiss Photo Award in 2012, and the Vevey International Photo Award 2013-2014. In 2014, his work was shown at the Biennale of Sydney.

Augustin Rebetez would like to thank Giona Bierens de Haan, Louis Jucker, Laurent Güdel and Adil Coralic for their participation to this exhibition, as well as  Yann Pocreau, Roxanne Arsenault, Corine Lemieux and Manon Tourigny for their implication in this project. Special mention to Marie-Claude Landry. The artist and his collaborators attendance was made possible with the support of Pro Helvetia, Swiss Arts Council.
