Aimée Hoving (1978) lives and works in Coppet, Switzerland. A Dutch national, she is a graduate of ECAL.
For several years now, Aimée Hoving’s photographic work has been infusing poetry, a child’s eye, freedom and carefreeness into the most intimate spaces of our lives. By depicting the members of her family, she draws us into a troubling perception of our everyday lives. In particular, the photographer explores genetic mutation and the way it is passed on within her family, her multicultural roots, childhood memories and mother-daughter bonding, all the while leaving unresolved enigmas in her images. To capture something more than mere surfaces, she plays with the photographic medium to bring out distinct chapters of a complex story: that of life, of the human being, with its ambivalence, its trials, its fragility, but also its power to reshape itself over and over again.

Aimée Hoving has won several awards, including the Swiss Design Award, the Leenards Foundation Cultural Prize and was a finalist for the Virginia Prize. Her work is regularly exhibited in museums, galleries and festivals in Switzerland and abroad, including the IPFO (Olten), the Saatchi Gallery (London), the SCoP (Shanghai) and the MEP (Paris). His photographs can be found in a number of public and private collections, which have chosen to acquire his work.
