Swiss Design in Hollywood

Swiss Design in Hollywood retraces the work and impact of Swiss artists in the areas of design and digital imagery in international film production as well as in video games.

The cinema industry is one of the most important cultural contributors of the modern era.

Contrary to popular belief, a number of Swiss artists have worked successfully over the years in the conception of films or games, creating characters, fantastic creatures and scenery.

Today, many of these artists are working on some of the most publicly-recognised projects (including animated films) and are leaving an enduring mark on popular culture, although their contribution is largely unknown.

Swiss Design in Hollywood gives an historical perspective on little known or underrated artistic techniques and practices. The exhibition also aims to emphasise the personal influence of particular Swiss designers and illustrators – whether they work independently or for the big special effects studios – on the aesthetics of film and video game production, without overlooking their personal creations.
