Works by Romain Mader
Romain Mader studies fine arts at ZHdK, Zurich and photography at ECAL in Lausanne. Questioning the nature of photography and its relationship with reality, Mader’s work explores themes of gender-representation, loneliness and romance by creating fictional narratives within his images-
A strong performative aspect can be seen in his photographic and video works as well as humour and self derision. His work has been exhibited at Tate Modern, London, Musée d‘art de Pully, Images in Vevey, OCAT in Shanghai and Shenzhen, FOAM museum in Amsterdam, Planches Contact in Dauville. Mader’s work was the recipient of the 2017 Paul Huf Award with his project «Ekaterina», a video made of photographies, looking like a «roman photo».
