(born 1953, in Chur, Switzerland)

 

Now based in Zurich, Hans Danuser has exhibited throughout Western Europe. In the 1980s his work investigated various industrial-scientific practices: gold refining, atomic experiments, animal husbandry, and physical pathology. Viewing technology as by its very nature Mephistophelean—producing threats as well as benefits—Danuser now employs photography to probe physical evidence from science’s taboo zones. His Frozen Embryo Series III renders microscopic processes visible, confronting viewers with abstracted but potent images.
