The artist was born in 1966 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, and currently lives and works in Paris and Montpellier. She began her artistic career as a photographer and travelled around the world in search of abstract landscapes: a passion, which she still has today. In the mid-1990s, Catherine Gfeller settled in New York and focused on urban settings. That was the beginning of a series of large urban friezes, composed using montages, collages and double exposures. Catherine Gfeller has lived in Paris since 2000. This was when she began to introduce the video camera to her photographic work. Her multiple compositions created a world beyond fantasy and reality. Shapes, faces, sentences and voices blend with the incessant rhythm of the city. Landmarks become hazy and blurred.
