Raphael Perret

Raphael Perret is a Zurich based artist, exploring the interplay between physical and virtual spaces, the closing of circles, as well as the examination of value systems. He developed a research based art practice, in which he likes to peak behind the veil of our life world and poke holes in it. Because the longer we look into the dark corners, the clearer gets the picture of our current situation.

After exploring the technical possibilities of computers, their afterlife has moved into focus. Since 2012, he has worked on the informal-illegal recycling of e-waste in India and is researching from a socially engaged, artistic perspective the aesthetic of decaying technology as well as the circumstances of the workers in India. He holds a Master of Advanced Studies in Scenography and has exhibited in Europe, Asia and the Americas.
