Bernard Voïta is born in Cully (CH) in 1960. He graduated in 1988 at ESAV Genève participating into the workshop of Silvie and Chérif Defraoui. Bernard Voïta's art practice is on the edge between sculpture and photography. The artist carefully produces his scenes arranging found objects and shooting them from a specific point of view. The results appear like manual or digital collages, but they are in fact regular photographs in which all the effects have been created by intervention on the “built” reality. The image has eventually a double level of lecture: one which underlines the geometrical values of the composition and presents a readable system of forms and patterns obtained with the help of the contrast in colors, and another where the combination of single objects appear as an almost surreal ensemble. Bernard Voïta received several Federal Grant (1988, 1990 and 1997), he won the Barclay Price in 1992 and the BCG Price ( Banque Cantonale de Genève) in 1997. He lives and works both in Lausanne and Brussels (BE)
