Die Winter
Suisse
2017Artiste invité
Die Winter is connected to Stéphane Winter personal history. Born in South Korea, Stéphane was adopted by a couple living in the suburbs of Lausanne, Switzerland when he was one. At the age of 15, he started taking pictures of them, and kept doing it for 25 years, creating thousands of clichés. His work gathers staged situations and caught on the spot pictures that convey the humour and tenderness of the everyday life of this trio. In parallel, this work also mixes and documents in a quirky but positive way adoption and the intimacy of a Swiss middle class family at the end of the 20th century.
