Michael Tulio
(Swiss, b. 1994. Lives and works in Bern)
Michael Tulio holds a BFA degree from
Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHdK) and currently pursues a master in Fine Art from the same university.
Born and raised in Zurich, his artistic practice is characterized by a diverse and humorous exploration of the peculiarities of Swiss culture.
“First and foremost, I found it interesting to think about the symbolism of bread in a contemporary context – and even more specific in a swiss context. What everyday baked goods do I find around me and what meaning is attributed to them?
In Switzerland, croissants, or Gipfeli, are very popular.
The Swiss Bakers and Confectioners Association estimates that over 270,000 Gipfeli are baked here every day. I am interested in the fact that an object can be both everyday and almost iconic at the same time.”
