About
Olivier Christinat (born 1963 in Lausanne) is among the leading figures of contemporary Swiss photography. After completing his photography training in Lausanne, he has worked as a freelance photographer since 1985 and developed an independent artistic body of work from the 1990s. He became particularly known for series such as Photographies apocryphes, Événements, Nues and Nouveaux Souvenirs, in which he explores the boundaries between documentation, staging, and visual memory.
Christinat’s photographs are characterized by precise image composition, poetic visual language, 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 work, he has taught photography in Geneva for many years.
With his unmistakable photographic approach, Olivier Christinat is among the defining voices of contemporary European art photography.
