Hannes Schüpbach
Hannes Schüpbach was born in Winterthur (Switzerland) in 1965. From 1988 to 1991 he studied at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Zurich and the Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst in Basel, followed, in 1992–1993, by classes in Cinema and Performance Studies at New York University.
Since 1999 Schüpbach has completed ten silent films. However, his artistic practice with elements of the cinematographic dates back to 1990, with spatial installations and serial paintings that can be experienced through movement. In the exhibition Stills and Movies at Kunsthalle Basel, 2009, a number of his large, connected series of paintings were shown for the first time. The exhibition also highlighted the conceptual interconnections between installations, performances, and films by Schüpbach; they all entice movement and unfold through memory
