Joël Tettamanti

Works 2001 - 2019

Author: Nicolas Bourquin and Sven Ehmann

Hardcover

Tettamanti focuses on places that give each location its specific identity. Moving from unspoiled countryside across the borders between nature and civilisation to the centres of agglomeration, he explores the details where seemingly rationally constructed civilisation encounters natural forms. The places Tettamanti reveals in his photographs seem somehow surreal; they show just how absurd man-made structures can appear.

Since his 2009 solo exhibition Local Studies at Fotostiftung Schweiz, Swiss Joel Tettamanti has gradually built up his reputation as a photographer. In this title, the places Tettamanti reveals in his photographs seem somehow surreal; they show just how absurd man-made structures can appear.

Summary

Description

The Swiss photographer Joël Tettamanti, born in 1977 in Cameroon, is a restless traveller. Assignments for international magazines and global company groups take him to known and unknown places all over the world, which he, through his lens, more or less coincidentally approaches as an artist. Moving from unspoiled countryside across the borders between nature and civilization to the centers of agglomeration, he focuses on places and subjects that give each location its specific identity. His richly detailed pictures explore the encounter between seemingly rationally constructed civilization and natural forms, showing just how absurd and surreal man-made structures can appear.
