Christophe Guye Galerie proudly presents a solo exhibition of one of the world’s most influential and visionary photographers: Nick Knight. The Swiss premiere showcases a cross section of Nick Knight’s unparalleled work from the last two decades. Beside a selection of his most iconic photographs, an assemblage of his award-winning fashion films will be on view, as well as one of his “photographic sculptures”; a porcelain sculpture of Kate Moss with its delicate and refined features employs the very same approach and the same techniques that he uses in photography.

Galerie Edwynn Houk Zurich is pleased to present an exhibition of Nick Brandt’s photographs from the series “Across The Ravaged Land”. This occasion marks the artist’s first presentation at the gallery’s Zurich location and follows the well-received exhibition at Edwynn Houk Gallery New York of the artist’s most recent series “Inherit the Dust”.
With these large-scale sepia toned images Nick Brandt pays homage to the impressive animals native to Kenya’s expansive landscape. Working for weeks on location in the African savanna, Brandt studies his subjects through the lens of a medium format film camera, just as carefully and considered as one would construct a portrait in a studio setting. He spends days with each animal and waits for a moment of connection, the decisive moment, when everything moves into place and the subject’s individual character is captured in a perfectly composed scene. This approach is particularly evident in the large-scale portrait of one of Brant’s favorite subjects, Elephant on Bare Earth, Amboseli, on view in the exhibition.
