presented by the institution's thirtieth anniversary to examine its own collection.
Drawing on a selection of works from the collection, the exhibition delves into various
themes and issues – from the collection's focal points and the factors that influence its

VALIE EXPORT

The Photographs / Die Fotografien

The Photographs / Die Fotografien

25 Feb – 29 May 2023
VALIE EXPORT – The Photographs is the first exhibition to focus on the photographic oeuvre of the artist VALIE EXPORT (b. 1940), whose at times provocative performances and experimental installations have been a source of controversy. The show examines EXPORT’s use of photography as a critical exploration of processes of depiction and representation. At the interface of film, video art, drawing and body art the photographs offer a new perspective on her creative oeuvre.

Aphasia

Aphasia

Im Rahmen von / As part of of Photographic Encounters

25 Feb – 29 May 2023



The practice of Italian Senegalese artist Adji Dieye (b. 1991), based in Zurich and Dakar, Senegal, is dedicated to the themes of postcolonialism and nation-building. From an Afro-diasporic perspective the artist examines how language and the urban landscape function in the writing of history, whose linearity becomes the focus of her critical enquiry. At the centre of Dieye’s exhibition is the video-based work Aphasia (2022), newly produced especially for Fotomuseum Winterthur during an… more

Feet in the Water

Feet in the Water

Les Pieds Dans L'eau

29 Oct 2022 – 12 Feb 2023

French film director Jean Painlevé (1902–1989) had a passion for scientific cinema. He was interested in engaging a broad audience in the discovery of natural science through film and devoted most of his life to documenting fauna – especially species from the underwater world. Over a period of more than 50 years, Painlevé shot over 200 short films, marked by his characteristic approach, which he developed through meticulous observation, technical mastery and experiment… more

Less Alone Together

11 Jun – 16 Oct 2022

The exhibition Chosen Family – Less Alone Together draws on international positions and works from the collection of Fotomuseum Winterthur to shed light on photography’s treatment of the (elective) family and its representation of it as a social and cultural construct. In addition to the works of professional photographers and artists, the museum also presents personal photo albums, showing the family stories of people from Winterthur and from all over Switzerland.

I have seen a million pictures of my face and still I have no idea

26 Feb – 29 May 2022
Norwegian Nigerian artist and sociologist Frida Orupabo (*1986) creates analogue and digital black-and-white collages and video installations from visual material circulating online. From photographs from the colonial era as well as from contemporary imagery, from ethnography, medicine and science to art and pop culture, Orupabo dissects representations of the Black, mostly female body as a means to negotiate themes of colonial violence, racism, sexuality, identity and belonging. In rearranging … more

26 Feb – 29 May 2022
The 1928 novel Orlando tells the story of a young nobleman in the age of Queen Elizabeth I who lives for centuries without ageing and has the mysterious ability to switch gender. In 1992, film-maker Sally Potter devised what has become a classic adaptation of the book with actress Tilda Swinton in the title role. ‘I see Orlando as a story about the life and development of a human striving to become liberated entirely from the constructs of prescriptive gender or social norms of any kind,’ Ti… more

The Yanomami Struggle

The Yanomami Struggle

23 Oct 2021 – 13 Feb 2022
For five decades, photographer Claudia Andujar (b. 1931) has dedicated her life and work to the indigenous Yanomami communities in the Amazon region of Northern Brazil. In the late 1970s, when the community found itself subjected to severe external threats, the Swiss-born photographer, who is based in São Paulo, began fighting for the Yanomami’s rights. She subsequently went on to join the community, thus deepening relations between them.

Her fourteen-year battle alongside Yanomami leader D… more

5 Jun – 10 Oct 2021


"How to Win at Photography – Image-Making as Play" explores the relationship between photography and play and invites visitors to focus on the playful aspects of visual culture. It investigates the notion of image play, creating unexpected connections between the history of photography as well as practices of image making with and within computer games.

Dear Imaginary Audience

Dear Imaginary Audience

23 Jan – 24 May 2021



Eva & Franco Mattes (both b. 1976) have been investigating the internet’s effects on the ethics and politics of our daily lives since the 1990s, reflecting on how networked images increasingly interfere with and define our private and social behaviour. In the process, the artist duo dissects the opaque mechanisms of our networked society, its infrastructures and morally dubious forms of online behaviour.

Fleeting encounters in the streets of international metropolises, calm suburban scenes, thriving thoroughfares, quirky everyday settings – street photography presents the diversity of our urban spaces and the people who live in them. The exhibition "Street. Life. Photography" offers a range of very different perspectives on city life and ways ofphotographing the street.

SITUATIONS/Deviant

19 Oct 2019 – 23 Feb 2020
Photographic images capture and freeze moments: they fragment bodies, arrest movement and render our behaviours observable. Through photography, we can detect and categorise even the slightest deviations from the norm. In turn, photographs not only reinforce these norms, but can be instrumental in spawning new or deviating forms of behaviour: we may adapt to photographic models or tailor behaviours and appearances to the camera. SITUATIONS/Deviant examines the mechanisms of socio-cultural normal… more

The themed exhibition "Because the Night" is dedicated to the motif of night, with all the promise that it holds. Photographic works by Bieke Depoorter, Georg Gatsas, Thembinkosi Hlatshwayo, Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Burca, and Tobias Zielony present the events of those special hours in a variety of (socio)cultural and topographical settings.

Fotomuseum Winterthur is presenting the exhibition "Color Mania – The Material of Color in Photography and Film". The show exhibits film strips, large-format images and original prints, by which the development and history of color as a material in photography and film are illustrated.

In the space between object and desire, the photographic gaze occupies a unique position: it satisfies many of our yearnings and fantasies as much as it fuels them. Might the increased circulation and consumption of images of today’s visual culture be driven by an impulse that is of a pornographic nature? From obsessive binge-watching to food porn or unboxing videos in which products are carefully unpacked in front of the camera, screen-based phenomena from the realms of digital desire and… more

Un Certain Regard

8 Jun – 25 Aug 2019


Sophie Calle, born in Paris in 1953, is a conceptual artist, photographer and film-maker. Her work has a unique individual style, a distinct blend of meticulous research, interviews and combinations of image and text. Calle’s artistic approach does not strive for perfection or objectivity; rather the artist seeks out a personal angle, a way into her material in which the in-between space becomes a key element. Her projects are nested in a close-knit web of references and cross-references… more

We rarely encounter a photographic image unaccompanied, but rather as an integral part of a broader arrangement of media. What tended to be confined to text-image constellations in the era of print media has increasingly morphed and expanded into hybrid assemblages comprising a wide variety of image, text and audiovisual materials sourced from diverse contexts and displayed simultaneously on our screens and digital platforms. Yet, while our culture is becoming increasingly visual, its foundatio… more

The innocent image is an illusion – this is especially true for the omnipresent medium of photography. And it is this that constitutes the artistic starting point for Anne Collier. Born in Los Angeles in 1970 and currently living in New York, her conceptual works are based primarily on found materials from the pop culture of the 1970s and 1980s; on photos gleaned from magazines, advertising, record covers, book illustrations and film stills.

SITUATIONS/To look is to labor

Cluster #150 - #159

8 Dec 2018 – 17 Feb 2019
The photographic industry not only introduced new fields and practices of work, but was furthermore instrumental in the optimisation of industrialised forms of labour. Photographic images, in turn, became crucial in re-organising our perception by capitalising on our gazes. In today's digital systems, the viewer’s gaze is tracked and analysed to perfect the “harvesting of eyeballs”, turning every spectator into a worker.

In the production models of our so-called attention… more

Enjoy Your Life!

2 Jun – 7 Oct 2018



Juergen Teller navigates the boundary of art and commercial photography, putting the portrait at the heart of things. Whether in the realms of music, fashion, everyday life or landscape, his distinctive feel for individuals and situations allows him to create visual compositions with an immediacy that is sometimes deceptively simple. Deliberately and implicitly breaking with visual conventions and expectations, his works neither idealise nor romanticise. Juergen Teller (born 1964) is one of t… more

Surveilling, monitoring and controlling have been historically associated with powers attributed to photographic media. Furthermore, photography has always been the enabler of our latent and voyeuristic desires, and as such a site of projection of our cultural imaginary as well as a space of negotiation of self-images. How have these dynamics changed and been intensified by the present role of distributed photographic media, as we keep moving between the desire to control and to be looked at, sh… more

Enigma - Every Photograph is an Enigma

Jede Fotografie hat ein Geheimnis

24 Oct 2015 – 14 Feb 2016


Photographs often seem familiar and understandable, a visual common sense intimately related to our daily lives. But they can also provoke a spark of amazement or generate a more sustained perplexity and inquiry. Curated by the renowned French photo historian, Michel Frizot, Every Photograph is an Enigma interrogates this paradox. Drawing exclusively from photographs in his private collection, many of them anonymous, he presents a selection of photographic moments at once ordinary and marvello… more

5 Dec 2015 – 31 Jan 2016
Vom Verschwinden einer Person oder sozialen Realität über das Verblassen eines Bildes – einer Erinnerung, die uns langsam entgleitet – bis zum digitalen Bild, in dem sich traditionelle Grenzen auflösen: Das neue thematische Cluster untersucht den Prozess des Verschwindens und ihre Übergangsmomente. Wie und auf welche Art und Weise sind diese Momente von einer Dynamik der (Re-) Konfiguration und des (Wieder-) Erscheinens gekennzeichnet – von neuen Formen und … more

BEASTLY / TIERISCH

30 May – 4 Oct 2015


Representations of animals are ubiquitous in our culture, from advertising hoardings, to newspapers and television, to hundreds of thousands of images uploaded every day to the internet. Human beings, it seems, are obsessed by the image of the animal. Animals are also consistently subjects of public controversy, whether in relation to animal rights, agro-industrialisation, conservation or genetic engineering.

Over the last two decades, artists have sought to question humankind’s relati… more

7 Mar – 17 Jul 2015


Fotomuseum Winterthur presents the first major retrospective in Europe of the work of Paul Strand (1890–1976), one of the great modernist photographers of the twentieth century. Drawing from a recent major acquisition of 3,000 prints by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the exhibition shows the evolution of Strand's work over six decades. It reveals the multiplicity of his practice, from his early efforts to secure photography's position as a modernist art form, to his embrace of… more

SITUATION #8: Gay Semiotics, 1977/2014

8 May – 7 Jun 2015
In 1977, Hal Fischer produced his photo-text project Gay Semiotics, first as a series of silver gelatin prints and then as a book published by NFS Press. The project explored the growing visibility of the male gay community in the Castro district of San Francisco, particularly its street style and so-called ‘hanky codes’ indicating different sexual preferences. Fisher’s series was one of the earliest attempts to explore a queer semiotics, offering a playful engagement with male… more

13 Dec 2014 – 22 Feb 2015
In the mid-1990s the German artist Peter Piller (*1968 in Fritzlar) worked at a Hamburg press clipping service during his art studies. The service was used by regional advertising clients and companies to monitor where and how their paid advertisements appeared in print. Like Richard Prince during his job at Time Life Company (which provided the source of inspiration for his now world-famous Cowboys series), Peter Piller was drawn to specific photographs while paging through the press, which he … more

In Hamburg, the Ruhr region, Bonn, Graz, and Barcelona he has explored the areas marking the outer borders of urban settlement in cities and regions of varying size. In carrying out these walks Peter Piller follows things that catch his eye as well as cues from his memory, stopping his excursion once he feels unable to tak… more

13 Dec 2014 – 15 Feb 2015
Viviane Sassen (born 1972) is one of the most exciting practitioners of contemporary fashion photography. Her visual world is both innovative and challenging—colorful, formally inventive, and sometimes even surreal. Surpassing the clichés of the fashion business, she uses the performative nature of fashion photography for her own purposes. Exploring the sculptural potential of the body and using it to create ingenious choreographies, she structures her images through the use of stro… more

Comprising 56 statements written by photographers covering the whole history of photography from the 1840s to the present day, it assembles those who have something urgent to say about the medium. The result is an engaging cacophony of voices, often programmatic, sometimes angry, but always hopeful.

He was a key contributor to the landmark exhibition New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape, organized by the International Museum of Photography and Film, Rochester, New York in 1975.

How does our secular society manage its heritage and, with that, its future? By collecting and archiving data with near-religious zeal: human DNA in the form of slivers of umbilical cord, dental samples and sperm, DNA of animals already extinct in the wild, the seeds of all manner of (agricultural) plants. And, of course, vast quantities of digital data that we leave behind on the big data pathways of the internet, credit card statements and official registers.

Swiss photography classes at the Zurich University of the Arts, ECAL in Lausanne, and HEAD in Geneva have trained a number of artists over the years, who in addition to exploring issues of content have primarily addressed issues specific to the medium.

Scientific images are fascinating because they show things and processes that remain hidden to the human eye. Photography makes it possible to delve ever deeper into micro- or macrocosms and capture them in images. Is photography mainly a visual research-aid for science or is it much more? Developing scientific practices have continued to place new demands on the capacities of the medium since the invention of photography in the 1830s, and have led to a continuous fine-tuning of the photographic… more

Hine was adamant in his wish that Americans become aware of the injustice in their nation’s legal system. A firm believer that every human being deserved full respect, Hine saw photography as the best tool to make this both visible and compelling. To fulfill his mission, Lewis Hine traveled 75,000 km throughout the United States for organizations such as the National Child Labor Commit… more

2 Mar – 20 May 2013
Architectures and cities are both volumes and images alike. We experience them directly, physically and sensually, as well as through pictures. Pictures speak a language of their own. They offer a discourse that is quite unlike the physical experience of architecture. They transform volume into surface; distil matter into forms and signs – rarely, if ever, leaving it as it is. That is probably why so many architects try to get involved in determining the image of their buildings. The class… more

The exhibition Where Three Dreams Cross - 150 Years of Photography from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh and the publication accompanying it articulate the untold story of an equally significant history, as rich and as formally innovative, yet embedded in the culture and… more

KARAOKE - Photographic Quotes

Seems familiar? We are constantly bombarded by images and information - at school, at work, in newspapers and on the web. All of these stimuli carry a multitude of underlying codes. Day in and day out, we navigate our way, more or less successfully, through a torrent of texts and images, subtle advertising messages and hard facts, official instructions and personal messages. New and long-established media alike vie for our undivided attention. What we tend to over… more

Graciela Iturbide - The Inner Eye

The photograph Mujer ángel (Angel Woman), showing a Seri Indian with her back to us, walking through the desert carrying a radio recorder, is one of Graciela Iturbide's most compelling images. It is, strictly speaking, a documentary photograph, and yet, at the same time, it appears to symbolise the tension between two civilisations, raising the question of how indigenous culture can continue to survive within western culture. Graciela Iturbide often creates i… more

Last year's exhibition "Darkside I - Photographic Desire and Sexuality Photographed" explored the role of photography in the imaging of sexuality and desire. Now, the sequel, Darkside II, looks at the opposite end of the bodily spectrum, charting the path from the body as a veritable ‘picture of health' to the body injured, disfigured or mutilated, in decline and decay.

This raises questions: Why is there an intima… more

With this major retrospective of the work of Walker Evans (1903-1975) Fotomuseum Winterthur pays homage to one of the twentieth century's most influential photographers. His insightful and detailed portrayals of American life, especially his images of rural poverty during the Great Depression, made photographic history and went on to influence countless photographers.

Walker Evans was extraordinarily innovative in his approach, capturing the very essence of the "American way of life”. The 130… more

In recent years, this region has become the playground of the wealthy industrialized world. Yet this one-sided view of its azure waters, sandy beaches and tourist resorts ignores the social, economic and political changes that have been wrought by globalization. With So Blue, So Blue, Ad van Denderen seeks to gi… more

Eugène Atget (1857-1927) is one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. He became famous primarily through his views of the "old Paris", which were coveted by collectors even during his lifetime, and which served numerous painters as sample prints for their work. For a long time known only to a small circle of historians, artists and museum curators, Atget worked tirelessly at capturing with his camera the part of old Paris that was in the process of disappearing: monuments, pictures… more

Die neue Fotografie in Italien 1932-1960

1 Sep – 18 Nov 2007
Neorealism, mainly associated with the films by Visconti, De Sica and Rossellini, was a heartfelt artistic response to the transformation of Italy in the course of the twentieth century. With the demise of Fascism, which had harnessed the mass media of photography and film for its own purposes and moulded a new aesthetic of reality, Neorealism surged to the fore. The newfound freedom of opinion and the need to forge a new Italian identity fuelled a feverish interest in documenting reality and ex… more

For several decades, women were virtually compelled to occupy themselves primarily with themes relating to their own situation in art and the world, and thus to create a (feminist) expression in contemporary art. This was the only way, through intensive self-reflection and power analysis, that they stood a chance of being noticed. This is why the women's art of the past 30 to 40 years is so intensively bound up with the c… more
