Portrait hello loser Fotokredit hello loser s

This moniker intertwines the artists Charlotte Bonjour, Romain Löser, and Arthur.
hello-loser is a pun around their family names and wishes to reconsider the idea of “the winner” in a world guided by anti-social and ecocidal industrial principles. They evolve through interdependence rather than individualism and embrace individuality while cultivating porous borders.

They run their studio/work collectively to dilute monolithic authorship under the name Charlotte Bonjour, Romain Löser or hello-loser depending on the context.

Since 2021 they also run the conversation piece GUTS

The following poem – Aris names them Envoyelle – was written by Aristilde Kirby in 2020, and depicts the hello-loser family, as well as some works present on this homepage :
