Photomanipulation nominee

In this series "beyond photography" people of different cultures are represented in a vanishing manner. The real world is filtered and decomposed in an "endless" and dynamic play of lines, lights and colors that raise to the value of a conceptual vision. The image goes behind the perception of the mere reality. As for the impressionists the focus is on colors rather than on form.

I was born in Locarno, Switzerland. After high school I studied Dentistry and specialized in Switzerland and USA becoming Professor at the University of Zurich, of which I am emeritus Professor.
At the end of my professional career, I started using the photo camera as an instrument not to document but to take snapshots that are successively decomposed and recomposed in order to create "chromatic suggestions". The goal is to create vibrant counterpoints, often vanishing, by the superimposition and insertion of subjects and different, often blurred, layers.
