Adrien Missika (1981, Paris, France) studied and developed his career in Lausanne where he founded 1m3 artspace. Adrien Missika uses a wide range of media (photography, video, installation) to share his findings from travels in the USA, Hawaii, Turkmenistan, India, Lebanon, Brazil, to name a few. Missika portrays himself as a ‘professional tourist' and his work plays on the idea of an exotic representation of these localities. There, he would look for natural elements (rocks, plants, lava) as much as iconic architecture such as Niemeyer’s dome in Tripoli (Lebanon), that he sometimes activates, records and transforms for the mediated experience of the gallery space.
