Biography
Patrick Moser, after studying literature at the University of Lausanne, began by teaching, then with this experience began studying translation and interpretation. In parallel, he obtained a post-graduate degree in museology from the University of Geneva in 2001 for his thesis "From the dwelling house to the exhibition space – example of the Villa "Le Lac" Le Corbusier".
Patrick Moser became a translator and became known in the field. His work is particularly noted by Kenneth Branagh, who will use his services for an adaptation (in French) of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. Martin Scorsese will follow for the film Gangs of New York and Tim Burton for Big Fish. Patrick Moser translates in French for Switzerland the astonishing documentary by André Heller and Othmar Schmiderer Im toten Winkel (In the blind spot - Hitler's secretary).
In 2010, Patrick Moser created, according to the wish expressed by Le Corbusier in one of his last letters (1965), a museum at the Villa "Le Lac", in Corseaux, Switzerland. Photographers Erling Mandelmann and René Burri contribute to the creation of the museum by lending their works for the first two exhibitions in 2010 and 2011. In 2015, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the architect's death, Patrick Moser invites Daniel Libeskind, Mario Botta, Zaha Hadid, Toyo Ito, SANAA, Rudy Ricciotti, Bernard Tschumi, Gigon/Guyer, Alvaro Siza and Rafael Moneo to an extension project of the Villa "Le Lac" – a competition of ideas and imagination in honour of one of the greatest architects of the 20th century.
In 2013, Patrick Moser was invited to the Chalmers Technical University in Gothenburg (Sweden) to present his research on the links between architecture and literature1. Several conferences will follow, notably at Doctor Curutchet's Villa in La Plata, Argentina (2015), and at the Mies van der Rohe house of the Weissenhof Siedlung in Stuttgart (2016) as part of the Französische Wochen im Grossraum Stuttgart2 (Weissenhofwerkstatt im Haus Mies van der Rohe).
In 2017, the University of Lausanne entrusted him with the curating of the in situ exhibition "From BFSH 2 to Anthropole - 1987-2017]" on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Building of the Faculties of Human Sciences II. He will participate in the round table on 3 November at EPFL to mark the 75th anniversary of the Swiss Association of Interior Architects (VSI). ASAI with Jacques-Xavier Aymon (EAD interior designer, HEAD emeritus professor), Yves Corminboeuf (HES industrial designer, specialist in sustainable development), Thomas Juguin (SSA graduate acoustician), Bruno Marchand (Dr ès Sciences, EPFL architect, EPFL professor), Corinne Mosimann (interior architect) and Victor Vieillard (lighting designer).
In 2018, he collaborated with the Archives de la construction moderne and Archizoom (EPFL) on the exhibition "Habiter la modernité - Villas du style international sur la Riviera lémanique" at the Atelier de Grandi (6 Sept. - 29 Nov. 2018) and participated on 4 October 2018 in the round table "Habiter la modernité" with Joëlle Neuenschwander, Paola Tosolini, Salvatore Aprea, Christophe Flubacher and Cyril Veillon. In 2019, there will follow a plea in favour of towers and skyscrapers in Switzerland with the exhibition De Bel-Air à Babel at the Villa "Le Lac" Le Corbusier for which Patrick Moser analyses five towers built or planned between 1930 and 1970 in Lausanne, Vevey, Montreux and Aminona, works by five major 20th century architects: Jean Tschumi, René Deléchat, Alphonse Laverrière, Hugo Buscaglia and Philippe Gaillard.
Publications
Patrick Moser is the inventor of the nanotext - a literary genre between haiku and short story - short, dense, polysemic, cinematographic.
In 2002, after many adjustments, Patrick Moser published a first collection of nanotexts, La Saveur des Mots, a work of generic exploration, experimentation and discovery. In 2003, follows a second opus, Icare, in which the nanotext takes flight, and then a third, Tu ne voleras point, in 2005, which defines the limits of the genre and consecrates the birth of a style. This last collection was awarded the 2005 Jean Amaury Prize.
In 2010, Patrick Moser publishes Epilogue, a play that became a comic strip thanks to a happy collaboration with David Delcloque, a French graphic designer and illustrator (Boulogne-sur-Mer). With Epilogue, nanotextual writing found its first theatrical and comic application.
In 2010, Patrick Moser initiated a series of bibliophile publications on architecture, exhibition catalogues and specialized works. Although the titles are in French, the following publications are bilingual (French–English) art trilingual (French-German-English).
