The artist Collier Schorr will provide insights into her work. As an artist and fashion photographer Schorr is interested in how a body changes over time. In the exhibition Orlando – Based on a Novel by Virginia Woolf Schorr presents a portraits series that follows the model Casil McArthur during his transition. In conversation with Nadine Wietlisbach, director Fotomuseum Winterthur, Schorr will speak about her collaboration with McArthur and her working process.

This event takes place in the framework of the exhibition Orlando – Based on a Novel by Virginia Woolf. The 1928 novel Orlando tells the story of a young noble person 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. The exhibition of the same name, developed by Swinton, shows the work of contemporary artists and photographers who explore the main themes dealt with in Orlando’s story: gender fluidity, the idea of boundless consciousness and the prospect of living forever.
