Born in 1956 in Fribourg (Switzerland), he lives and works in Zürich (Switzerland) and Berlin.

 

In the series Looking for Love, Daniel Buetti operates, incises the body to inscribe the initials of major firms on the back of photographs of top models from the pages of the best women's fashion magazines. These drawings, overprinted as if they were directly on the skin, create a relief, tattoos that speak of the beauty-cruelty relationship between fashion and its economic success.
