Jan A. Bielinski is a Swiss photographer with focus on black and white documentary and street photography. Olga Sviblova, Director, Multimedia Museum of Art, Moscow (MAMM) and Curator of Jan Bielinski's exhibition at the Photobiennale 2016 at MAMM said: "Portraits and architectural landscape are the two major themes in the work of Swiss photographer Jan Bielinski. Wherever his photographs were captured, in Europe, America, China or other parts of the globe, they document not only a halted moment in time, but also the attempt to create a visual metaphor for the time we live in and understand how people’s collective and individual work creates the historical memory without which it is impossible to comprehend what is happening today and build our future."
