Hello, my name is Claus Gunti. I am an art historian, writer and curator based in Lausanne, Switzerland.
I am a lecturer and researcher at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL). My research and curatorial practice focus on conceptual and experimental photographic forms, materialised and computational photography and digital culture. My book Digital Image Systems came out in 2020. In 2021, I co-published the book Automated Photography, a research project also shown as an exhibition in Paris, Lausanne, Seoul, Tokyo and Bologna. In 2025, I curated Botanical Murmurs with Danaé Panchaud, which explored our often paradoxical relationship with plants. More information here.
Currently, I work on an upcoming book on photography and AI, and the research project Soft Photography launched at ECAL with Milo Keller† and Clément Lambelet, addressing emotional responses to computer-generated images.
