“A visual and sonic voyage, told from the musicians’ intimate point-of-view, through which you can see the grain of the negative film echoing the grain of the charcoal drawings, blending with the organic tape-sounds of the bootlegs and the texture of the asphalt roaring beneath the wheels of the tour-bus” (The Moriarties).
Member of the music band Moriarty, he assembled in this book the memories of 800 gigs played in 25 countries over the course of ten years. This 200 pages large scale book presents over 150 photographs and drawings made by Stephan as well as 2 CDs inserted on the last page, with 26 tracks of the live album On the occasion of the publishing of the photo book Moriarty Echoes from the borderline, we are happy to present Stephan Zimmerli’s work.
Stephan Zimmerli is an artist, photographer, scenographer, an architect and a musician. He shares his time between tours with the music band Moriarty, the scenography projects in collaboration with Marc Lainé (la Boutique Obscure) as well as teaching in different architecture schools in London, Lausanne, Rennes and Paris. All those various experiences bring him to an artistic practice at the crossroad of visual arts, theatre, architecture and music.
