A multimedia artist born in Athens in 1967, Marc Philippin began his career as an actor before devoting himself entirely to his passion for the arts. He studied at the Ecole Supérieure d’Art Visuel in Geneva, graduating in 1992. He then embarked on a career as a painter. In 2006 he founded Kitchen-Project with his partner Soômi Dean, a duo of multimedia artists who use video as a means of scenic expression.
They developed a visual instrument with four hands, offering a new form of cinema that is both experimental and accessible to a wide audience. Today, Marc Philippin is continuing this artistic project on his own, and in 2013 opened KP, a virtual space for contemporary art that can be viewed on the web. He is currently offering courses for children at the Jaques-Dalcroze Institute and is taking part in the Verbier Festival’s UNLTD by creating art and animation workshops for young audiences.
