Although Augustin Rebetez studied photography, he does not limit himself to just one medium for his work. For his powerful space-filling productions, he draws from his immense pool of work pieces such as sculptures, posters, paintings, or hanging structures. Videos, paintings, drawings, texts, musical compositions and theater productions complement his work.



It seems as if Rebetez absorbs his environment like a magnet, analyzes all information and takes it over into his thought architecture. He describes himself as a "wild thinker who feasts on the mythical and utopian content spawn by the production of the human mind." This mythical and utopian thought is the basis, the fundus for his dialogue between the media of photography, painting, sculpture, graphics, literature, poetry, film and performance. Rebetez not only creates one thing, he seems to be an artistically inexhaustible sensitive universe himself. But he does not produce inaccessible art. His works, ingeniously interwoven with sophisticated, socio-political content, create a world in which neither class distinctions, nor gender, nor age, nor ethnicity play a role, inviting viewers to follow him into his fantasy cosmos, to dream and to engage with his formal language, to appropriate it and develop it further.

Since 2020, Augustin Rebetez has been developing his own publishing structure with the Rapace label, which he sees as an expression of the different areas of his activity.
