Description

cut natural stones and reassembled leftovers

2.1" x 1.5" x 2.7" in I 5.5 x 4 x 7 cm 

2026

The works on the table and floor are river stones that have been cut open. My son Edmondo and I selected these stones from the Maria River in the Bergell Valley. All the types of stones found upstream gather in the river’s course. I abstract the shape of the river stone through six cuts, aiming to shift the focus to the content—the material—which is independent of the form.

All the pieces have been put back together. Now covered in new scars. The removed core leaves behind an empty space, a hollow into which light shines through at the corners. Like a broken jug that has been put back together. A stone as a vase.

Authenticity

The artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.

Nicolò Krättli (*1987, Samedan, Switzerland) is a Swiss artist, architect, and curator based in Zurich. Working across sculpture, drawing, photography, installation, digital media, and spatial research, his practice explores the translation between virtual and physical realities, investigating how images, data, landscapes, and architectural spaces are transformed into material experience. After studying architecture at ETH Zurich, where he graduated under Professor Christian Kerez in 2015, he worked on the development of Incidental Space, presented at the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale (2016). His architectural background continues to inform an artistic practice concerned with perception, representation, and the construction of space.

Krättli's work often emerges through long-term collaborations, notably with Jonathan Banz and Kaspar Stöbe. Projects such as Video Solid, Pointcloud Sculpting, and Sky of Tomorrow combine artistic experimentation with technological and scientific inquiry, examining processes of petrification, digital reconstruction, and collective image-making. His works have been exhibited internationally in Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and France, including presentations at Museum Ulm, Benzeholz – Raum für zeitgenössische Kunst, Kunsthalle Marcel Duchamp Hamburg, Dynamo Zurich, the Fiktiva Festival Düsseldorf, and numerous independent art spaces. His research and artistic projects have also been featured through publications and lectures, including Project Anywhere's Global Exhibition Program and the Parsons School of Design in New York.

Alongside his artistic production, Krättli is an active curator and founder of independent exhibition platforms. Together with Joana de la Fontaine, he initiated Displays (2020–) and BosqueRreal (2021–) in Zurich, two ongoing curatorial projects dedicated to emerging and experimental artistic practices. Through exhibitions, publications, and collaborative formats, he has created platforms for artists from Switzerland and abroad while developing a practice that moves fluidly between art, architecture, research, and cultural production.
