Career

After a Master in Fine Arts in 1991 at the Universities of Neuchâtel and Lausanne, she devoted herself to photography. Gfeller traveled to many different continents (Europe, South Africa, Asia, South America, North America) to create large landscape triptychs (“A Matter of Landscape”). In 1995, she received a grant for a one-year residency in New York. There, she developed a printing technique which combines paper, monoprint and photography on the theme of urban landscape ("Urban Friezes").[5]

In 1999 she was invited for a residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris where she received the Photography Award from the HSBC Foundation.[6][7] Paris inspires a new work (“Multi-Compositions”), focused on metaphorical urban subjects using various media: video, sound and the written word. Intimate spaces and daily gestures create new multi-layered compositions where urban rhythms still resonate as an acting presence (“The Insiders”, “Chimeras”, “Domestic Pieces”, “Waders”).

In 2010-2012 her monographic exhibition "Pulsations"[8] was hosted by Museum of Fine Arts La Chaux-de-Fonds, Museum of Fine Arts KKL Luzern and Center of contemporary Arts Sète (South of France) .[9][10]

Recent Projects:

2013: Film "Words of Artists/Portraits of Artists" (87 Min.), Swiss contemporary art, produced by Richard Dindo and Swiss Television RTS Zürich.[11]

2014: Residency and exhibition at WAM Museum in Johannesburg.

2015: Dozen of artistic projects combining installation, performance, photography, video, radio and soundwalk, the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern (architect: Renzo Piano).[12]

2017: "Voices in Kyiv" multi-media exhibition, Shevchenko National Museum, Kyiv, Ukraine.[13]

2018: "Guangzhou Driftings" multi-media exhibition, Guangdong Museum of Art, Guangzhou, China. This project will continue with new themes in Hong Kong and Beijing in 2020.[14][15][16][17][18]
