Mischa Christen
Keystone
Lucerne, Switzerland
I’m a Swiss photographer and have been working for national and international clients since 20 years, including Das Magazin, The New York Times, Die Zeit, NZZ am Sonntag, CSS, Financial Times, M le magazine du Monde, SuchtMagazin, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Marco Odermatt, Lucerne Theater, Coopzeitung, Lucerne Cantonal Bank, etc.
In my personal work, I engage with themes such as identity, memory and transience. Photography allows me to re-experience long-past memories and the emotions associated with them. It also helps me to immerse myself in the past in a cinematic sequence and reconstruct the before and after.
Study at the International Center of Photography in New York, participant in the Northern Lights Masterclass in Groningen, Netherlands, and most recently in Ute Mahler & Werner Mahler's “Klasse Mahler” (2024–2025) at the Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie, Berlin. Participation in workshops by artists such as Anders Petersen, Antoine D'Agata, Michael Ackermann and Paolo Pellegrin.
Group exhibitions and Screenings at the International Center of Photography New York, Photo Elysée Lausanne, La Panacée Montpellier, Kunstmuseum Luzern, Haus am Kleistpark Berlin, among others.
My personal work has been published in numerous print and online magazines and publications, including DER GREIF, UND, Photo RAW, YET Magazine, VICE, SuchtMagazin, 957 Independent Art Magazine and NZZ.
Co-founder of BULB 6000, an off-space for contemporary photography in Lucerne.
