Nicolas Haeni (1984) is an artist and freelance photographer working between Paris and Lausanne. After completing his Bachelors Degree in Photography (2009) and his Masters Degree (2011) in Art Direction and Photography, Nicolas continues to work on human sculpture and photography, and feeds his obsession on everyday life objects, by producing images that are expressing his point of view through material. He gives humor to daily routine and transforms visual objects which we are used to, on a daily basis and suggests his personal vision of our environment. Nicolas’s philosophy stands for an eternal obsessional game.
As a photographer, I’ve always been obsessed with everyday objects, because they tell stories about human habits. When I’m using an object for a picture, I’m using something that belongs to somebody else and that has been eroded by them, so that becomes unique. Basically, I’m talking about people through their own objects. Of course, some items are more interesting because of their shape, color, strangeness and appeal to be a picture. I like to think that by using them for my sculptures, I’m giving them a new function or personality. A new meaning.
