Philippe Rahmy (5 June 1965, in Geneva – 1 October 2017) was a Swiss poet and writer.

Biography

Philippe Rahmy studied the history of arts and Egyptology at the École du Louvre in Paris, and graduated from the University of Lausanne in literature and philosophy.

He was a founding member of the prominent French literary site remue.net, focused on promoting contemporary literature over the Internet and through live events. He is a published author in France, USA, Italy, Switzerland and China.

Philippe Rahmy was also active as a photographer and as a director of award-winning independent short films. Philippe Rahmy suffered from Osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bones), and he was an active member of several handicap related associations. He was also writing songs for the rock band "I need my gasoline".

He was working on a literary and multimedia project about abandoned cities. The Abandoned City is a collaborative writing project. Hosted on D-FICTION, it will ultimately find its dedicated platform, an open website gathering a large range of tools for geolocation, virtual exploration of the landscape, artistic creation, and communication. Literary at first, this interdisciplinary project will welcome, later, visual arts, music, staged arts and street arts, as well as academic productions.
