Brigitte Lustenberger
Born in Zurich, Switzerland, Brigitte Lustenberger studied at Zurich University and received her MA in Social and Photo History in 1996. In the following years, she established herself as a fine art photographer. She moved to New York and received her MFA in Fine Art Photography and Related Media at Parsons School of Design in 2007. The main issues in her works lie in her interest in the study of the gaze, the interplay between absence and presence in a photographic image and the fact that the reading of a photograph is most often triggered by a collective memory. She explores the media itself and its close connection to themes like decay, memory, death and transitoriness. Brigitte Lustenberger has shown nationally and internationally in both solo and group shows. She had solo shows at the Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne. Switzerland, at Walter Keller’s Scalo Gallery in Zurich and New York, etc. Her works have been part of group shows in the Kunsthalle Bern, Kunsthalle Luzern, etc. She was awarded the Grand Prize at PDNedu, the Golden Light Award, Shots/Corbis Student Photographer of the Year, and others. She received fellowships for Cairo and Maloja and was awarded the prestigious swiss Landis & Gyr Residency in 2013. In the same year, she was awarded for the second time (after 2002) the Photo Award of the Canton Bern. Brigitte Lustenberger creates a modern and yet baroque universe by following a baroque still-life tradition to evoke meaning by showing and choosing certain objects, facial expressions and gestures. The images are very much about the transitoriness of being and the constant human involvement in it - and its resulting changes of fates. The artist goes back literally to the meaning of the word portrait, which descends from the Latin word - protahere - which can be translated as - to pull out something, to bring something forward, to bring something to light. The black spaces from where the faces or the still-lifes appear, leave room for the viewer’s interpretation. Most of the lighting in the photographs is natural daylight coming in through a window.

- Usine Toyota n°9 (Valenciennes) – Stéphane Couturier, Toyota, Car Factory, ArtBy Stéphane CouturierLocated in Zurich, CHStéphane COUTURIER (*1957, France) Usine Toyota n°9 (Valenciennes), 2005 Sheet 182 x 241 cm (71 5/8 x 94 7/8 in.) Frame 189 x 241 cm (74 3/8 x 97 5/8 in.) Edition of 5; Ed. no. 3/5 Framed Born in 1957 in Neuilly sur Seine, Stéphane Couturier currently lives and works in Paris. In 1994, Stéphane Couturier showed his first works in a series called 'Urban Archaeology', viewing the city as a living organism with multiple aspects. He photographed it deliberately avoiding anything that suggested poetry, nostalgia or strangeness. From 1999 on, Stéphane Couturier was increasingly drawn to suburbs and began to focus on a different type of landscape: on the one hand, by tackling housing blocks and high-rises in his 'Monuments' series; on the other, by photographing mushrooming housing developments.These generic cities soon became his favorite subject. In 2002, the uniformity and repetitiveness of these landscapes around the world drove him to begin working on the concept of the polyptych: the combinations and interchangeability of each of the elements in a polyptych give rise to a play with 'Landscaping' (the title of a new series), with the spectator recomposing a landscape between reality and fiction. WStéphane Couturier series ‘Melting Point’ presents a Toyota assembly plant in Valenciennes (France). Emphasizing the cycles of construction and demolition endemic to modern industrialized life, the photographs possess dynamic vertical and horizontal lines, elegant curves, and brilliant effects of light and indigenous colour. Using a large-format camera, Couturier creates crisply detailed prints that expand the viewer’s awareness of how a photograph can look and how urban occurrences can be conceptualized. Each picture is printed from a sandwiching of two moments in time, creating highly abstract yet precisely detailed images. People, machines, car parts, wires and more all compete for the viewer’s attention—images of industry simultaneously out of control and in perfect harmony. – Art, Contemporary, Colour, Architecture, Photography, Geometry, Graphics, Structured, Pattern, Car Factory...Category
