Landis & Gyr Stiftung Residency
2019/20
Michael Fehr is a writer from Bern, Switzerland. He creates poetic, rhythmic, musical, narrative works that employ repetition, reduction and articulation in order to create tension and serenity, noise and silence, strength and fragility.

Publications include Shine and Shadow, 2017; Simeliberg, 2015; and Short Before Redemption, 2013. He has also collaborated with Simon Ho on the albums Im Schwarm, 2018 and Bruxelles, 2016.
