ABOUT
Nathalie Bissig (*1981) lives and works in Switzerland. After completing her diploma in photography at the School of Arts and Design Zürich in 2004, she has been working for photographic research and reporting in many countries of the world, mainly in Africa and Asia,

In 2011, she began engaging with the question: how far can I go if I stay?
Committing to a long-term exploration of her roots, the Canton of Uri (Central Switzerland), her work draws on rituals, myths, and what a place holds beyond words: the familiar becoming uncanny, the body intertwining with landscape and the past pressing into the present.

Her practice spans photography, drawing, and objects, moving between documentary observation and staged scenes. Images shift, overlap, and reappear in new constellations — ranging from raw and immediate to dreamlike and unsettling. In books and immersive installations, everything is continuously rearranged into a visual system that, rather than explaining, opens.

Her debut monograph Thunder was published by Vexer Verlag in 2025.
Her work has been featured in Kunstbulletin, Republik, and WOZ, as well as on SRF Kulturplatz, and shown among others at Aargauer Kunsthaus; Kunsthaus Zug; Espace Jörg Brockmann, Geneva; Verzasca Foto Festival; and Circulation(s), Festival of Young European Photography, Paris.
