Symposium: Frame by Frame – On Collecting Photography
Working with collections of photographic works is a constant challenge for institutions. On the one hand, handling the different material qualities of photographic objects and caring for them is complex. On the other hand, questions arise regarding the visualisation of these objects in both physical and digital spaces. Can digitisation offer support? The gaps that collections and archives reveal are also increasingly being discussed: What methods can be used to identify them and how should they be dealt with? How can we develop sustainable strategies to counteract blank spaces by incorporating scientific, artistic and participatory approaches?
These and other questions will be addressed by experts in lectures, discussions and workshops. The symposium sees itself as a discussion forum for current discourses of collection work at the interface of theory and practice.

This event takes place in the framework of the exhibition A Show of Affection – Collection Constellation 1. Fotomuseum Winterthur is taking the opportunity presented by the institution’s thirtieth anniversary to examine its own collection, with a selection of artworks by 19 photographers and artists providing an insight into the museum’s collecting activities. The exhibition homes in on the collection’s idiosyncrasies, distinctive qualities and thematic focuses as well as the variety of different factors influencing its (progressive) development – while also scrutinising museum collecting practices per se.
Please note: Due to the renovation of Fotomuseum Winterthur, the exhibition is shown in the spaces of Fotostiftung Schweiz at Grüzenstrasse 45, where this event will take place as well.
These and other questions will be addressed by experts in lectures, discussions and workshops. The symposium sees itself as a discussion forum for current discourses of collection work at the interface of theory and practice.
