Nina Schipoff CH/D is an interdisciplinary artist living between Geneva and Sierre, working in painting, photography, and installation.
​
With a diploma from the Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD) and a postgraduate diploma from the Geneva School of Stage Set Design, Nina is currently advancing her studies in a Master's program in Arts in Public Sphere + Sound at EDEAH in Sierre.
​
Nina’s art explores the intricate connections between humanity and nature, delving into concepts of space, time, movement, and haptics. Her work reflects on the visible and invisible traces of our interactions with the natural world, questioning their ecological and geopolitical impacts. Through immersive and multisensory experiences, she challenges viewers to rethink their relationship with the environment, fostering a deeper connection with nature.
​
By creating ephemeral installations that address universal themes like identity, memory and purpose, Nina invites profound reflection and emotional engagement. Her art not only highlights our responsibility for a sustainable future but also encourages us to find meaning in our interconnectedness with others and the world around us.
