AUTHOR
Pierre-Emmanuel Fehr is a Swiss photographer based in Geneva. His photographs combine an instinctive aesthetic of contrasts and shades of gray in monochrome works, and are always based on the human being and its place in the society. His latest project discusses the differences between « bank workers » and « street workers ». The elements of the scenery are used as a representation of the moral or physical barriers of the conditions of both groups of workers. In his current ongoing project, « Heading to ? », he is showing a dark side of the inner world of youth, in a dreamy anxiety atmosphere.
