Walter Pfeiffer

Born in Switzerland, Walter Pfeiffer lives and works in Zurich. Since the 1970s, he’s photographing friends and strangers. With a new visual vocabulary, he’s changing our perception of realism in photography, mixing notions of intimacy, emotions, eroticism and gender.
Walter Pfeiffer, with Nan Goldin and Nobuyoshi Araki, have changed the perspectives of photography reinterpreting and re-loading the art of portrait. They gave birth to a new portraitists generation like Jack Pierson, Wolfgang Tillmans, Terry Richardson, Ryan McGinley, Slava Mogutin and Michael Meads.

Banks Violette’s Hate Them replicates a nightmarish teenage psyche. His minimalist suggestion of a rock band hovers above a sound stage with barbaric awe. Bank’s gnarlish fang-like forms encapsulate a testosterone-fuelled aggression with an iconic and primal flair. Drawing correlations between subculture and theatre, Violette addresses Black Metal as a performative act without clear limitation: a unique spectacle where artistic meaning is often literalised into real belief. Fuelled by its associations with violence, satanism, racism, and nationalism, Violette uses the Goth genre as both symptom and cause of individual immorality and social breakdown.
