Gina Fischli

Gina Fischli is a Swiss artist born in Zurich in 1989, who lives and works in her hometown. She holds an MFA from the Royal Academy of Art in London, which she received in 2018, and a BFA from the University of Fine Arts Hamburg in 2015. Fischli's work focuses on the creation of sculptures and collages that explore human interactions with animals, particularly those that we encounter in our daily lives.

In her sculptures, Fischli's approach is to subvert the traditional idea of the diorama display of animals, which is often idealized and fantastical. Instead, she creates sculptures that depict the animals we live and interact with in a playful yet menacing way. As visitors progress through the exhibition space, the sculptures become more abstract and deconstructed.

Fischli's collages, on the other hand, depict animals confined to spaces such as hotel lobbies, creating a sense of conspiracy or collaboration among the species. She has had solo exhibitions at various galleries, including Soft Opening in London, Sandy Brown in Berlin, and SUNDY in London. Her work has also been featured in group exhibitions in numerous institutions, including Aspen Art Museum, the Royal Academy in London, and the Swiss Institute in New York.
