Christoph Marti is presenting his latest collaboration in an upcoming exhibition, scheduled for the last quarter of 2024 in Zurich. Together with artist Timéa Tschannen, the exhibition will focus on the representation of the female body through various artistic media. The exact date of the exhibition will be announced soon. Christoph Marti is an internationally renowned photographer, known for his timeless work that transcends the boundaries of portrait, fashion, and fine art photography. His artistic career began in the world of fine dining, where he worked as a chef. These early experiences shaped his passion for precision, composition, and aesthetics, which are now reflected in his photography.
Marti is particularly fascinated by the human form, focusing on the aesthetic and respectful depiction of the female body. He skillfully navigates the fine line between art and the risk of appearing vulgar when working with nudity. As he stated in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, “I don’t like it when pictures are sexy.” His photography aims to express the inner strength and elegance of his models. A key aspect of Marti’s work is the trust he builds with his models. The gaze of his subjects plays a central role, as he uses the eyes to create a deeper connection with their emotions. His black-and-white photography adds a timeless quality to his work, characterized by depth and expressiveness.
In addition to his personal projects, Marti frequently collaborates with other artists, bringing his aesthetic vision to joint works. His latest collaboration with emerging artist Timéa Tschannen has resulted in a powerful exploration of the female body and its portrayal across different forms of art. Christoph Marti’s photography is more than just images – they invite the viewer to explore the subtleties of human emotion and the beauty of form on a deeper level. Each image is a carefully crafted piece of art that unites aesthetics and authenticity.
