Fabienne Gähwiler (1997) and Mario Gisler (1994) are a
Swiss artist couple.
GislerGähwiler is an artist duo exploring the intersections of nature, technology, and human impact through site-specific, often light-based installations. Their work is deeply connected to field studies in elemental landscapes such as glaciers, volcanoes, and necropolises, where they witness natural transformations and reflect on the fragile balance disrupted by human activity.
Materiality is at the core of their practice. They often combine synthetic and natural materials such as acrylics, minerals, glass and light—not merely as tools but as integral elements that shape the sensory and conceptual dimensions of their work. By experimenting with how materials interact with space, light, and perception, they create installations that blur the line between the tangible and the ephemeral. This approach reflects their interest in uncovering hidden connections between organic processes and technological interventions.
Collaboration defines their practice, described as a fractal system—self-similar yet endlessly evolving. Their installations invite viewers into spaces where the familiar becomes unfamiliar, and the invisible is brought to light, offering a reflection on the interconnected forces of the Anthropocene.
