Nils Nova was born in 1968 in El Salvador to a Salvadoran father and a Swiss mother. His artworks play upon the sense of the spectator’s space and turn around the traditional relationship between a space and the exhibition it houses, the work and watcher.
Using immense photographs prints that he creates a sort of stage set for a virtual theater. Nils Nova has exposed in Switzerland as well as in New York, San Francisco, Paris and Venice.
