French-Swiss artist Julian Charrière explores ideas of nature and its transformation over deep geological as well as human historical time.
Addressing pressing matters of ecological concern, his work frequently stems from fieldwork in remote locations with acute geophysical identities, such as volcanoes, ice fields, oil palm plantations, and undersea and radioactive sites. Working across media and conceptual paradigms, Charrière frequently collaborates with composers, scientists, engineers, art historians, and philosophers. His work often provokes, inviting critical reflection upon cultural traditions of perceiving, representing, and engaging with the natural world. A 2021 nominee for the Prix Marcel Duchamp, his work has been exhibited in numerous institutions across the world, including Palais De Tokyo, Centre Pompidou, Dallas Museum of Art, the Venice Biennale, the Taipei Biennial, and the Langen Foundation, among others.
