Biography__
Giuseppe Micciché (born in Winterthur, 1971, Switzerland) is an Italian-Swiss photographer. He graduated with honours in Photography from the Zurich University of the Arts and lives and works in Zurich.
His project «Cento passi» (A Hundred Steps) received the Prix Photoforum Award in Biel-Bienne, the Swiss Federal Design Award in Basel, and a New York Studio Grant from the City of Zurich. Published in 2014 by Edition Patrick Frey, the book documents the author’s final moments with his dying father, who was suffering from dementia. The work intertwines personal memory with themes of migration and farewell, focusing on Winterthur, the Swiss industrial town where the father lived and worked for three decades after emigrating from Sicily.
In 2023, Edition Patrick Frey also published «No ponte», a photo essay about a coastal region of Sicily that is shaped by a centuries-old, unfulfilled vision of a gigantic bridge to the mainland.
