PHOTOGRAPHY, - Lot 47
PHOTOGRAPHY, "Adieu la Suisse!", Peter PFUNDER, HAZAN Publishing, 2012, Exhibition catalog Note: Exhibition catalog published in conjunction with the exhibition “Farewell, Switzerland!”, presented at the Pavillon Populaire in Montpellier (2012–2013), then at the Fotostiftung Schweiz (Swiss Foundation for Photography) in Winterthur. Edited by Peter Pfrunder, then director of the Fotostiftung Schweiz, the book explores the evolution of the photographic representation of the Swiss landscape, juxtaposing historical images that shaped the myth of an idyllic Switzerland with the perspectives of contemporary documentary photography. Richly illustrated, this catalog brings together works by historic photographers such as Albert Steiner, Gotthard Schuh, and Theo Frey, as well as contemporary photographers including Jean-Luc Cramatte, Nicolas Faure, Yann Gross, Christian Schwager, Jules Spinatsch, and Martin Stollenwerk. It highlights the profound transformations of the Swiss landscape and the way in which photography contributes to the construction—and subsequently the deconstruction—of representations of the landscape.
