Dominique Koch
Dominique Koch (*1983 in Lucerne, Switzerland) lives and works in Basel and Paris. From 2004 until 2011 she studied photography at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig. Her installations can be described as “thinking laboratories.” The artist merges different fields of research, such as insights from molecular biology, with theories of capitalism. She creates hybrid forms and improbable intellectual encounters, to focus on themes that usually get lost in the flow of images and information.
Recent solo exhibitions include “Holobiont Society” at CAN, Centre d’art Neuchâtel (2017), “Maybe We Should Rejuvenate the Words rather than the Bodies” at Rinomina in Paris (2016) and “Beyond Chattering and Noise” at Centre Culturel Suisse in Paris (2015). Recent group exhibitions include “Futurs Incertains” at Musée d’Art de Pully (2019), “An Eye Unruled” at Swissnex San Francisco (2019), “Operaismo Naturale: Ecology of the Event” at Center of Contemporary Art Plovdiv (2018), “1 iJ” at EKKM Tallinn (2018), “Acquired!” at Kunsthaus Baselland (2018), “Biotopia” at Kunsthalle Mainz (2017), “Ex Situ. Samples of Lifeforms” at Copenhagen Contemporary (2017) and other group exhibitions at Kunsthalle Basel (2015/2018), Photoforum Pasquart (2017) and Fotomuseum Winterthur (2014).
