Marc Ninghetto

Fine Arts Photography

Marc Ninghetto was born in Geneva in 1972. After graduating from the Vevey School of Photography in 1995, he left for Paris to become first assistant to Dominique Issermann after the acclaimed French photographer had shown interest in Ninghetto’s work.

An impressive

Artistic path

During a year in Paris, Ninghetto flourished under Issermann’s tutelage and gained the skill and confidence to develop his own style and technique and set up as an independent.

When Ninghetto returned to Geneva in 1999, his reputation as a photographer, both in the world of fashion and the watch industry, grew thanks to his work for the likes of Studio Currat and in 2006 Ninghetto set up his own photography and graphic design agency, La Fabrique.

A sensitive eye

For detail

Parallel to his work in the high-end fashion and jewellery industry, Ninghetto has also channelled his talent into personal artwork that has seen him put on over 15 exhibitions in as many years. He has increasingly devoted his energies into these personal creations that focus on human subjects, invariably females.

Thanks to the dreamlike veil that envelops this work, his sensitive eye for detail and his original style and technique christened ‘digital sampling’, Ninghetto has become one of the biggest names in Swiss art photography.

Playful

With a large dollop of nostalgia

“When Maximilian Büsser proposed that I put on an exhibition at the M.A.D.Gallery, I thought that it would be a great chance to create something totally different to what I usually do, something more playful, and a break from my traditional style and subjects.

“And so, with a large dollop of nostalgia, I revisited my heroes from yesteryear, and set about producing ‘The Solitude of a Machine’ collection of photos”

The Machine at the heart of this new exhibition called ‘The Solitude of a Machine II’ is none other than the Japanese manga robot Grendizer, known as ‘Goldorak’ in French.’

“The M.A.D.Gallery is the perfect environment for him” says the photographer. “Not least because MB&F themselves are fans of Grendizer. After all, the MB&F rotor and buckle designs take their cues from the shape of this robot’s battle-axe, known as the asterohache in French.”

Collection

‘The Solitude of a Machine II’ comprises seven photos, each in a limited edition of 18 luxury prints. These prints are available in 3 sizes: 120x84cm, 170x120cm and 214x150cm photos.
It also includes a collector box limited to 18 editions, gathering all 7 images from the series plus one bonus image.
