Born in 1979 in Fribourg Switzerland, Fabian Marti lives and works in Zurich. Marti’s main body of work consists of analogue photography and sculpture. He also uses scanners and photocopying machines as recording devices, placing objects such as crystals, bread and skulls directly onto the glass screen. While the resulting prints have both an ethereal and a forensic quality, this process also lends the selected objects a strange sculptural presence, looming out of the pitch-black background amidst swirling dust particles. Marti’s imagery reflects an on-going research into, and fascination with esoteric symbolism, cultural anthropology, music and scientific debates. For his series “Kaleidoscope” (2007), Marti appropriated book covers from early science fiction and crime novels, masking their titles with black tape in order to reframe the original illustration.
Fabian Marti has up-coming solo exhibitions at Kunstverein Braunschweig, Braunschweig (2011) and Kunstmuseum, Winterthur, Switzerland as part of the Prix Manor Zurich (2011). He has recently presented solo shows at Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Zurich (2010), Hans Trudel Haus, Baden (2010), ISR – Spazio Culturale Svizzero, Venice (2009) and Istituto Svizzero di Roma, Rome (2009). His work has also been shown as part of “The Library of Babel/In and Out of Place” at 176 Zabludowicz Collection, London (2010), “The Eternal Flame” at Kunsthaus Basel (2008), “Âpre mont” at CCS, Paris (2008), “Anathema” at Fri-Art, Fribourg (2007) and “Heimlich/Unheimlich” at Stadtmuseum, Munich (2006).
Fabian Marti is represented by Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Zurich.
