Guillaume Collignon

Guillaume Collignon graduated a bachelor’s degree in photography from the École cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL) Switzerland in 2010, followed by a master’s degree in art direction and photography in 2012.

His works and research are mainly focused to landscape / architecture / spaces and the human interaction with it (déambulations environnantes and éléments alpins), an exploration of the photographic medium through long exposures in response to the increasingly rapid pace in alpine peaks climb (Speed), the physical, temporal and historical superposition of communication routes and industrial infrastructures in the alpine valleys (Roadside valleys)
