Mirjam Cavegn personally selected the pictures, introducing us to the wide spectrum of Groebli’s photography.

After starting his own photography practice from scratch a mere five years ago, with no experience or formal training, he has developed into a photographer with his own distinct signature style – abstract yet sharp, with a strong focus on detail.

Because we rarely feel more alive. And at their end, we are all the more reminded that everything will have to pass by eventually. If you look at Philipp Keel's new works for 'Last Summer', you notice the absence of people--aside from a single nude. Instead, there are predominantly images of palm trees, pools, drinks, in addition to still lifes, that initially seem cool and summery, as well as interspersed snapshots … more BILDHALLECHBILDHALLE +41 (0)44-5520918 info@bildhalle.ch Tue-Fri 12-18:30, Sat 11-16 SEASIDE Summer Show / Sommerfest und Ausstellung11 Jul – 31 Aug 2019BILDHALLECHBILDHALLE +41 (0)44-5520918 info@bildhalle.ch Tue-Fri 12-18:30, Sat 11-16 Paul CupidoÉPHÉMÈRE 23 May – 6 Jul 2019Bildhalle is happy to announce Paul Cupido‘s first solo exhibition in May 2019 in Zurich, while also proudly presenting the artist‘s work at Photo London and Photo Basel.

The two photographers Willy Spiller and Fred Mayer will exhibit some of their best-known works at Bildhalle, images that are visually intense, absurd and a witty testimony to the zeitgeist of that time.

Winter as a photographic subject has a long tradition in Switzerland. Snow and cold almost completely transform a landscape, concealing many of its characteristics and often reducing them to contrasts, planes and textures.

The large-scale works on display portray a seemingly intact environment, but at closer observation reveal the eminent danger of being lost to global warming.

Fascinated by the speed, the energy and the absurdity of the 1970s and 80s, he roamed the streets far and wide with his camera. Whether it was rides on the subway, dancers at the legendary Studio 54, hip-hop culture in the streets of New York or the poolside life of L.A.'s high society, Spiller captured all the many facets of a bygone world in images as varied, as fascinating and as absurd as that world itse… more BILDHALLECHBILDHALLE +41 (0)44-5520918 info@bildhalle.ch Tue-Fri 12-18:30, Sat 11-16 René GroebliTHE MAGIC EYE / DAS MAGISCHE AUGE René Groebli turns 90!

His aim is not to reproduce reality but consciously to alter it by alienating or reducing it. The viewer needs to look precisely because the apparently normal becomes distorted in Philipp Keel’s images. A picture can be taken in a matter of seconds, but subsequent work on the image in the laboratory can take months, or even more than a year.… more BILDHALLECHBILDHALLE +41 (0)44-5520918 info@bildhalle.ch Tue-Fri 12-18:30, Sat 11-16 Thomas FlechtnerFOR EVERGREEN 11 May – 24 Jun 2017"FOR EVERGREEN" is a rich tribute to the universe of plants using the means available with analogue photography. It is the first time artist Thomas Flechtner has exhibited works from different cycles. The contrasts between them provide us with a tension-filled insight into his examination of Nature. What connects the works? The fleeting nature of the moment. The mystery of the transient. The discovery of the insignificant.

He studied photography with Hans Finsler in his native Zurich at the School for Arts and Crafts, then opened a photography and advertising studio. In 1942 he became a freelancer for Du magazine, which published his first major photo essays in 1943.

The result is an impressive collection of images that reveal a region, familiar to many of us, from a completely unexpected and hitherto unknown perspective.

Misappropriation of the term “sightseeing”, UNSEEN SIGHTS is instead the visit of a surrealistic territory.

The notice on the door read "Foto-Grafik". The exhibition takes up this theme. It begins with some little-known early studio work, which reflects the strength of form and the masterly interplay of light and shade which were to become the hallmark of Werner Bischof‘s later photography.

He is a blind spot. Perhaps he is the proverbial blind spot, the "Missing Link" in the history of modern Swiss photography. The first to notice him was the American photographer and curator Edward Steichen, the visionary Steichen who had towards the end of the 1940s established at the New York Museum of Modern Art the first photography department world-wide.

He was the first German member of the Magnum photographic agency and the first ac credited photographer in the German Democratic Republic, where he worked for “Stern” magazine.

Delphine Burtin is controlling this optical confusion perfectly. She creates images that let us see things that do not exist. Delphine Burtin photographs trivial objects.

Robert Boesch loves and admires nature, and stones in particular – whether a single boulder, a hill, a whole mountain range, or the expanse of the entire visible earth crust. The sky looms above, horizons frame the scene. We call it firmament of universe – this airy, transparent realm in constant motion that complements Boeschs’ earth.
