Not Vital

Not Vital is a Swiss artist living and working between his hometown, Beijing and Rio de Janeiro.

Not Vital's art is inspired by his nomadic lifestyle and experiences traveling the world, reflecting on habitats, nature and animals, as well as on the relationship between sculpture and architecture. To define his large-scale constructions, in 2009 Vital coined the term "SCARCH" - the union of sculpture and architecture. Central to his work is an exploration of the spatial, economic and cultural context of homes and workplaces.

Vital has opened studios in New York, Lucca, Beijing and Agadez. Over the course of his career, he has realized many structures for contemplation around the world, including a tunnel on the island of NotOne in Patagonia, Chile.
