Studio Julian Charrière

Julian Charrière is a French-Swiss artist based in Berlin. His work has been exhibited in esteemed institutions and museums around the globe. Combining sculpture, performance, video, and photography, his projects often originate from fieldwork in remote, liminal locations such as volcanoes, icefields, and radioactive sites. By encountering places with distinctive geophysical identities, Charrière speculates on alternative histories, often viewing materials through the lens of deep geological time. His work deconstructs how cultural traditions shape our perception of nature, exploring its evolution from the Romantic era to the Anthropocene. He frequently collaborates with scientists, engineers, art historians, and philosophers. Whether undertaking artistic expeditions or staging immersive installations, Charrière’s practice examines how humans inhabit the world—and how the world inhabits us.
