Peter Baracchi, born 1982 in Zurich, studied photography at Zurich University of the Arts. Ever since, he has been working with topics and phenomenas which emerge from our modern society and which shape and influence our everyday life. Peter Baracchi began as a photographer but has soon after started to work with all kinds of materials and media. This is why his recent artworks and exhibitions are currently getting more and more sculptural and installative.
As a co-curator, Peter Baracchi is part of the nomadic Off-Space "6 1/2", which organises temporary art projects and exhibitions: www.sechseinhalb.ch
Peter Baracchi lives and works in Zurich.
