2024
Fabienne Levy Gallery

Gian Losinger works within his immediate surroundings. His medium is photography, through which he seeks to capture everyday moments and assign them value. In his photographs, he highlights things and situations that we too often pass by without noticing, let alone appreciating. By focusing on the seemingly “normal” and everyday, the artist encourages the viewer to perceive their surroundings without judgment, to engage with them, and to question their learned ways of seeing and thinking.

He aims to move away from the constant search for something “better” or “higher.” Instead, he invites the viewer to rediscover and appreciate the poetry of everyday life. He offers the opportunity to immerse oneself in a world of everyday images that, in their subdued ephemerality, conceal a certain sadness—the awareness that a beautiful moment is, at the same time, fleeting. In this way, Losinger’s photographs align with the tradition of vanitas imagery, which reflects on the transience of earthly existence.

Although each of his works captures a singular moment, Gian Losinger often creates series on a given theme. When these series are displayed together in a space, the impression of the individual image is intensified, broadening the viewer’s horizon of experience. His work can be roughly divided into three main themes: still life, landscapes, and bodies.

In all these areas, the artist is drawn to everyday moments that challenge the viewer. He encourages us to pause for a moment and begin again to observe the world without preconceived notions — playfully and unpretentiously, as children do.

Some of his glimpses into our surrounding reality could almost be described as “banal” were it not for the compelling and mysterious energy they exude. His work conveys a refreshingly honest appreciation of an equally authentic «everyday aesthetic», which induces a peculiar sense of calm. These are fragments of «real» life, just as it is—and somehow, they lead us ad fontes, back to our origins: a simple existence within an ordinary environment.

Nothing in his photographs feels staged, enhanced, or artificially arranged. Gian Losinger shows us things and surroundings as they truly are — just as we know them. And it is precisely this comforting sense of familiarity, which we experience in his images, that reassures us: in the end, we are only truly at home where things are as they genuinely are.
