Tropographies 2015–2020 brings together a selection of manipulated photographs taken by Nicolas Delaroche at 41 exhibition venues in Switzerland and abroad. These images are paired with abstract forms derived from architectural sketches created by the artist in the same locations, as well as a series of evocative texts written by Gabrielle Boder.
The book invites readers to wander through the physical and virtual locations of the exhibitions. It blurs boundaries, transforming the subject matter of the photographs, the composition of spaces, and the origins of creative ideas. The result is a playful and thought-provoking interplay of visuals and words—a quirky dialogue between Delaroche’s imagery and Boder’s poetic reflections.
With its blend of photography, architecture, and literature, Tropographies 2015–2020 offers an unconventional exploration of artistic distortion, encouraging readers to reimagine how we perceive spaces and art.
The publication was designed by GUNMAD and published by Swiss publisher TSAR Books.
