Christophe Guye Galerie Dufourstr. 31 8008 Zurich Suisse
Christophe Guye Galerie is proud to announce its upcoming exhibition Photographie et Vidéo, introducing the work of the internationally acclaimed French artist Stéphane Couturier. Since his solo exhibition at the Musée de l’Elysée 1996 it is his first solo exhibition in Switzerland, which will present the large-scale works from his renowned series Melting Point. With “figurative abstraction” Couturier creates absorbing images that visualise continuous movement and transformation. Capturing archetypes emblematic of 20th century Western civilization Couturier breaks the set photographic perspective framework, letting content and form adapt and unify with the ever accelerating technological world we find ourselves in. At once documentation, critique, and representation the works shown with Photographie et Vidéo explore and question how modern cultures simultaneously construct and destroy.
