Jean Otth (1940-2013) was a pioneer of video art in Switzerland.
Even while studying art history and philosophy at the University of
Lausanne and art at the Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne in the
early 1960s he began to experiment with the then very new medium,
making full use of its visual potential. Right from the beginning,
Otth's artistic trajectory, which still was influenced by the
practice of painting, became closely tied to the emergence of new
technologies. His works were soon exhibited in Switzerland as well
as at major international shows, such as the 1973 Biennale Sao
Paulo, the 1976 Venice Biennale, and the Documenta 6 in Kassel in
1977. Throughout his career he mixed immaterial video projection
with material reality, exploring their interaction. While
constantly questioning the media he used, Otth produced borderline
works that test the observer and provoke desire through
covering-up, reframing, and shifting. This new monograph, the first
book ever available in English on this remarkable artist, features
photographic and filmed works as well as his drawings from all
periods of his career. Text in English and French.
