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 developed an autonomous artistic body of work from the 1990s onward. He became particularly well 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 imagery, and the intensive engagement with perception, landscape, and human presence. His works have been exhibited internationally and published widely. In 2013 he received the Rado Star Prize Switzerland at the Biel/Bienne International Photography Festival. In addition to his artistic activity, he has been teaching photography in Geneva for many years.
With his distinctive photographic approach, Olivier Christinat is one of the defining voices of contemporary European photographic art.
