Meet the Artist

The work of Laurent Isler (2002), a Swiss artist, revolves around contemporary systems, where the commodity becomes a complex hyper-object, a constellation of flows and social relationships liquefied by the digital, where the commodity is not perceived as a simple object but as the dynamic crystallization of human interactions. Laurent Isler attempts to deconstruct certain productive rituals of our algorithmic era.

His artistic approach explores the interstices between physical labor and digital logics, questioning how companies and algorithms reconfigure our experiences. Photography becomes for him a critical apparatus, oscillating between experimental rigidity and performativity, captured in situ, staged, or retrieved from the Internet.

His territorial investigations unfold as archaeologies of the everyday, punctuated with absurdity and humor, where testimonies and fictional narratives coexist.

Trained at the Vevey School of Photography, he is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in visual arts - interaction at HEAD - Geneva.
