Color + Black + White – Werner Bischof

2024-08-30 – 2024-11-16 · Zurich, Switzerland
Color + Black + White – Werner Bischof

Following the highly acclaimed exhibitions of ‘Unseen Colour’ at MASI Lugano and the Fotostiftung Winterthur, Gallery Bildhalle invites visitors to discover, in dialogue with his iconic black and white images, the largely unknown colour photography of Werner Bischof. Largely considered one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, the original negatives date from the period between 1935 and 1954. The breathtaking images of Switzerland, post-war Europe and the countries Bischof travelled to have been painstakingly restored over a period of years, with the resulting prints lending Bischof’s work an unknown dimension and reveal a little-known aspect of his oeuvre.

  • Shirin Neshat. BODY OF EVIDENCE

    2025-03-28 – 2025-06-08 · Milan, Italy
    Shirin Neshat. BODY OF EVIDENCE

    The first large solo exhibition in Italy by Iranian artist Shirin Neshat, who through her film and photographic works explores the identity representations of feminine and masculine in her culture. In the tormented photographs of women, with their faces marked by Farsi calligraphy or wearing the hijab and holding guns, the woman’s gaze becomes a powerful and dangerous communication tool. Concepts such as martyrdom, the space of exile and matters of identity are examined through poetry and calligraphy. In her practice, the artist uses poetic imagery to deal with the themes of gender and society, the individual and the community and the dialectical relationship between past and present, through the lens of her experiences of belonging and exile. Curated by Diego Sileo and Beatrice Benedetti.
