Julian Charrière is a Berlin-based artist working with film, photography, sculpture and large-scale installation. His projects investigate geology, ecology and the technological transformation of landscapes, often beginning with research or travel to environments shaped by extraction, climate change, nuclear history or scientific exploration. Natural materials and industrial processes are brought together to reveal how human activity becomes embedded in the physical record of the Earth.
Charrière’s work frequently uses the visual language of expedition and documentary practice while questioning the idea of an untouched landscape. Cameras, laboratory methods and engineered materials become part of the subject, showing that observation itself is influenced by technology and political history. Museum exhibitions scheduled and presented in 2026 confirm the continuing international scale of his practice. Across immersive films, photographs and sculptural environments, he creates situations in which geological time meets the immediate consequences of contemporary industry. The work encourages viewers to consider environmental systems not as distant scenery but as active archives of energy, labour and human ambition. Charrière’s interdisciplinary approach makes scientific research, material experiment and poetic experience operate within the same artistic field.
