About

Roger Weiss is a Swiss visual artist whose research explores the fragmentary construction of human identity in contemporary society through photography and video. Graduated with honors from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, he investigates the human being as a threshold between presence and abstraction, memory and fiction. His practice is guided by a constant tension toward the archetype: an inquiry into the body as a primordial figure that precedes roles, time, and narration. He has exhibited in galleries and art fairs across Europe and the United States, including Ohsh Projects (London, UK), Gallery Sébastien Lepeuve (Clichy, FR), Snap! Orlando Gallery (Orlando, USA), Limonaia di Villa Strozzi (Florence, IT), Museo del Barocco (Noto, IT), Gervasuti Foundation (Venice, IT), StadtGalerie Brixen (Bressanone, IT), Deutsch-Amerikanisches Institut (Heidelberg, DE), and Kulturzentrum Alte Kaserne (Winterthur, CH). His works have been published in international art and photography books, including The Opéra (Kerber, DE), The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s (Josef Weiss Private Press, CH), and Doppelgänger – Images of the Human Being (Gestalten, DE), as well as in media outlets such as Schön! (UK), Interview Magazine (DE), Stern (DE), Carnale (IT), Digit! (DE), and Blink (KR). He has also been interviewed by Dazed (UK), i-D (UK), Exibart (IT), ArtsLife (IT), RSI (CH), Vogue Italia (IT), and NY Arts (USA). In parallel, he has collaborated with international brands such as Apple, Enterprise Japan, Amina Muaddi, and Wolford, developing projects that placed his artistic research in dialogue with fields of visual and cultural innovation. From 2017 to 2020, he directed the artistic vision of Collectible DRY, an international English-language magazine distributed worldwide, contributing to the definition of its conceptual and editorial identity.
