Still life traces its origins to 17th-century Dutch painting - and remains one of the most contemplative and collected disciplines in fine art photography today. ✨

Two artists who master this silence: - with his poetic precision. .remer - with his ability to make transience visible. In still life photography, nothing is accidental. Every object chosen. Every shadow deliberate.

📸 DANIEL REMER

A short film, a longer practice. This portrait moves through the everyday geography of Remer's world. A walk along a city park, a bridge, a stretch of water. Then the work itself, hands measuring, fitting, mounting, the slow choreography of installation that almost no one sees.

Cameras keep appearing. Held by him, made by him, watched by him. There is a quiet recursion in his practice, the photographer turning his attention toward the apparatus of looking itself, asking what it means to be the one observing and the one observed. The surveillance camera, that most anonymous of objects, becomes in his hands a sculptural subject with weight, history, and presence.

Behind every finished piece is a long arc of decisions. This film offers a glimpse of that arc and of the artist at its centre.

📸 MARC LAGRANGE (1957–2015)

Light was always his first collaborator. Lagrange built his images the way a painter builds a canvas, layer by layer, with shadow as much a subject as anything illuminated. The bodies, the fabrics, the surfaces all submit to a single chiaroscuro logic, and what remains is closer to oil painting than to fashion photography, even when the trappings of fashion are clearly in the frame.

There is a Flemish lineage in his work that he never disowned. Vermeer's quiet light, Caravaggio's drama, the still lifes of the Low Countries and their luxurious patience. Lagrange folded these histories into a contemporary language of beauty and desire, and he did it without ever raising his voice. The seduction in his pictures is real, but so is the intelligence behind it.

A decade after his passing, his images continue to find new audiences. The works shown here are a selection from his oeuvre, available at Petra Gut Contemporary.

📸 PIETRO TERZINI NOW ON VIEW IN ZURICH!

Pietro Terzini's work has arrived in the gallery, and the walls feel a little louder for it. The Italian artist has built his practice on the language of pop, fashion, and irony, turning bold typography and sharp colour into images that read like manifestos. Each piece lands with the immediacy of a slogan and the precision of a punchline.

Terzini grew up between Milan and the wider currents of contemporary fashion, and his visual vocabulary carries that lineage. Branding, magazine culture, advertising, the seductions and absurdities of the image economy. He borrows their codes and bends them, producing work that is at once a celebration and a quiet critique. The humour is real. So is the craft beneath it.

"In Her Mess" captures that signature in full. A unique piece in acrylic on cardboard, on view in Zürich now. We invite you to come spend time with it in person.

📸 MARC LAGRANGE (1957–2015)

Few photographers have captured intimacy with such painterly restraint. The Belgian artist built his images like a director builds a scene, with light, shadow, and silence doing most of the work. Each frame holds tension between what is shown and what is withheld, between the polished surface and the quiet pulse beneath it.

Trained as an engineer before turning to photography in the 1980s, Lagrange brought a builder's discipline to a sensualist's eye. Born in Kinshasa and raised in Belgium, he developed a visual language that drew from classical painting, cinema, and his own deep instinct for atmosphere. The results feel timeless and unmistakably his.

A decade after his passing, his images continue to find new audiences. The works shown here are a selection from his oeuvre, available at Petra Gut Contemporary.

📸 MARC LAGRANGE (1957–2015)

The Belgian fine art photographer merged precision and passion in equal measure. His work reveals a world of elegance and vulnerability — staged and spontaneous in equal breath, cinematic in atmosphere, deeply human and layered with emotion.

Born in Kinshasa (then the Belgian Congo) and raised in Belgium, Lagrange initially pursued a career in engineering before turning to photography in the 1980s. What began as a personal passion evolved into an internationally acclaimed practice marked by technical mastery and timeless sensuality.

His legacy continues to inspire collectors and admirers worldwide. The works shown here are a selection from his oeuvre, available at Petra Gut Contemporary.

🧊 SEBASTIAN COPELAND – GREENLAND: THE LAST GENERATION ON ICE

The title is not a metaphor. Sebastian Copeland has spent two decades photographing the polar regions as they retreat, and the exhibition at the Haus der Fotografie, IPFO in Olten gathers that record into a single body of evidence. The formations, shorelines, and ice walls held in these frames are already changing. Some will not survive long enough for the next generation to witness firsthand.

That is what sets Copeland's practice apart. He is not after the postcard. He photographs ice the way a witness documents a place that may soon be gone, with the patience of someone who knows exactly what he is looking at, and what is at stake.

Sixty-seven works and several films, across three floors, on view through July 19, 2026, at Kirchgasse 10 in Olten.

🧊 SEBASTIAN COPELAND – GREENLAND: THE LAST GENERATION ON ICE

Sebastian Copeland's Solo Exhibition is now open at the Haus der Fotografie, IPFO in Olten. Sixty-seven works, and several films are spread across three floors, including prints at gallery scale.

The scale is not theatre. It is the closest a wall can come to the experience of standing on the ice. Copeland does not photograph the polar regions from a distance. He has led twenty-seven expeditions, covered more than 12,000 kilometres on skis, and crossed Antarctica coast to coast for 4,100 kilometres. The practice carries that closeness precisely. Every frame is the result of weather endured, light waited for, and terrain earned step by step.

On view through July 19, 2026, at Kirchgasse 10 in Olten.

We invite you to see the work at the scale it was made for.
