About
Olivier Christinat (*1963 in Lausanne) is among the leading figures of contemporary Swiss photography. After his photographic training in Lausanne, he has worked as a freelance photographer since 1985 and, from the 1990s, developed an autonomous artistic body of work. He became particularly well known for series such as Photographies apocryphes, Événements, Nues and Nouveaux Souvenirs, in which he probes the boundaries between documentation, staging, and visual memory.
Christinat's photographs are characterized by precise composition, poetic imagery, and an intense engagement with perception, landscape, and human presence. His works have been exhibited internationally and widely published. In 2013 he received the Rado Star Prize Switzerland at the Festival International de Photographie Biel/Bienne. In addition to his artistic activity, he has been teaching photography in Geneva for many years.
With his unmistakable photographic approach, Olivier Christinat is among the defining voices of contemporary European photographic art.
