About the artist

Based in Berlin, Swiss-French artist Julian Charrière engages with both natural terrains and imaginary landscapes, investigating the cultural histories and slow geological forces that shape the planet and our idea of it. Spanning film, sculpture, photography, and installation, his practice is grounded in fieldwork in remote sites that have become charged by human inference, such as melting glaciers, nuclear test sites, deep-sea ecosystems, and mining grounds. Through a methodology informed by scientific observation and speculative poetics, his immersive spaces are marked by both wonder and disquiet, staged as encounters that aim to deconstruct the colonial and extractivist legacies inherent to acts of exploration––and which still govern our technologies of seeing.
