Haeberlin Yann

My photographic project consists of thoughts on social, economic and environmental issues. This photographic sequence, Home, is a logical extension of my previous works. Indeed, one of my latest project, "Inventio", deals with similar subjects: the exploitation of the developing countries resources by Swiss companies or based in Switzerland, it deals with globalization.

The poetic side of the images allows a complete freedom of interpretation from the viewer. Only by reading the legends related to the pictures he can understand the meaning of the work.

Starting with elements from my personal life, I approach much broader notions, neo-colonialism, globalization, ecology etc. I begin with a personal story, to move towards a global issue, the power relations between the north and the south, a reflection on capitalism. I do not pretend to give any solutions, but I try to share my feelings about the world and my life in relation to it.
