Who is Bernard Voïta?

 

Martin from A Sound Awareness dropped me a line recently which made me go digging around his very interesting blog. And I stumbled across these images by Bernard Voïta. A little more poking and prodding elsewhere lead me to conclude that Bernard is a man shrouded in mystery. As Damien Correll on It's Nice That puts it, "The Internet knows very little about Swiss-born Bernard Voita. Trust me, I’ve looked". So if anyone knows anything - absolutely anything - perhaps you could let one of use know.

These are lovely images -- !
Perhaps nothing online, but after asking around apparently he is in print. Here are a few catalogue references passed on by a curator friend, of group shows he was a part of:

Jede Fotografie ein Bild: Siemens Fotosammlung [Every Photograph a Picture: the Siemens photography collection] / Ulrich Bischoff, Inka Graeve Ingelmann, Thomas Weski. Cologne: Pinakothek-Dumont, 2004

Das endlose Rätsel : Dalí und die Magier der Mehrdeutigkeit / Jean-Hubert Martin, Stepan Andreae ; in zusammenarbeit mit Uta Husmeier. -- by Museum Kunst Palast (Düsseldorf, Germany)., Martin, Jean Hubert., Andreae, Stephan., Husmeier, Uta. Düsseldorf : Museum Kunst Palast ; Ostfildern-Ruit : Hatje Cantz, 2003.
