During the 1980’s, Bollinger travelled in the U.S.A and Mexico, photographing the landscape in color. In 1982, he won the “Prix Kodak de la critique photographique” in Paris, for a landscape series in color from the region of Cévennes in France. Since moving to Rome in 1986, the artist has worked almost exclusively in black and white, capturing the architecture and landscape of his adopted country.

Recent exhibitions include shows at Fotosphere Gallery, New York; Flo Peters Gallery, Hamburg, Germany; Gallery Benninger, Cologne, Germany; The international Photography Gathering, Aleppo, Syria.
His work has been published in UK, USA, Australia, Italy, France. Among the permanent collections holding Bollinger’s work are Centre Pompidou and Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris; Musée Nicephore Niepce, Chalon, France; and numerous private collections in the U.S.A and Europe.
