About Julian Charrière
Julian Charrière (*1987) is a French-Swiss artist based in Berlin. His work engages with the cultural and ecological layers embedded in natural landscapes. Merging geological and human time scales, he makes visible the slow and often invisible forces that shape both physical terrains and historical narratives.
Charrière’s interdisciplinary practice encompasses film, sculpture, photography, and installation. His immersive projects are often rooted in field research conducted in symbolically and ecologically charged locations—such as glaciers, volcanoes, nuclear test sites, or deep-sea ecosystems. In these direct encounters with fragile environments, he explores how human actions inscribe themselves into the fabric of the Earth, subtly altering its surfaces, atmospheres, and possible futures.
By fusing scientific observation with speculative poetics, Charrière approaches landscapes as physical processes, sites of collective memory, and carriers of cultural imagination. Rather than illustrating ecological crises directly, he creates spaces where wonder and discomfort coexist—inviting audiences to experience the contradictions and tensions of our present moment. His work questions the colonial and extractivist legacies embedded in exploration, landscape representation, and the technologies of seeing.
Charrière studied at Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) and was a participant at the Institut für Raumexperimente led by Olafur Eliasson. His works have been exhibited by numerous international institutions and biennials. In 2024, he became the first recipient of the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Award for Environment and Art, presented by The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Los Angeles.
