Christian Lutz, born in Switzerland graduated from ESA 75, L’Ecole Supérieure des Arts et de l’Image, in Brussels. He is currently based in Geneva. Christian's photographic approach is on a scrupulous sociological observation of human groups. Whilst the formal qualities of his images are aesthetically appealing, they often reflect an acerbic visual commentary on our collective preconceived socio-political constructs. From his earlier documentary approach to photography, his work has since evolved to encompass a more cinematographic perception of his environment.
MoreFrom 2003 to 2012, Christian's primary focus was to create a photographic trilogy on political, economic and religious power. In Protokoll (2007), Christian accompanies a member of the Swiss Federal Council on official occasions throughout the world. In Tropical Gift (2010), he captures the closed world of Nigeria’s oil and gas industry, and In Jesus’ Name (2012), he follows the members of a Zurich-based evangelical church over the span of a year. The three books were subsequently published by Lars Müller Publishers.
Following his photographic investigation into power, Christian trained his lens on the world of casinos and has published two further books. First in Las Vegas with his book, Insert Coins (2016), and most recently in Macau for his work, The Pearl River (2019).
Christian is a recipient of several other photographic awards and grants. In 2013, Christian was artist-in-residence by the Biennale des Arts Contemporains aux Libellules in Switzerland, publishing the book Libellules, with Héros-Limite (2015). His images are regularly published by magazines and are continuously being exhibited throughout the world.
