Bogana’s works focus on the exploration, real and fictional, of the behaviour of light and its interactions with matter
Alan Bogana is a multidisciplinary artist based in Geneva, Switzerland. His practice involves sculpture, computer graphics, electronics, time-based media, and holography, and his works are usually presented as installations.
Over the last few years, his research has focused on exploring, real and fictional, the behaviour of light and its interactions with matter. He investigates this broad field of study through various means, such as computer graphics simulations of impossible phenomena or the manipulation of translucent, phosphorescent, and holographic materials.
He completed a Fine Arts Diploma with honors at the Geneva University of Art and Design, a specialization in computer graphics and one in artistic research methodologies at the Zürich University of Art and Design.
Alan Bogana received the Simetría Award in 2019 alongside Chilean artist Nicole L’Huillier. They completed a dual residency at CERN and the European Southern Observatory (ESO) astronomy facilities in Chile: Antofagasta, La Silla and the ALMA observatory (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO).
