A collection show with a difference: Fotomuseum Winterthur is examining its own collection. Drawing on a selection of works, the exhibition delves into various themes and issues – from the collection’s focal points and the factors that influence its ongoing development to the gaps and absences that are revealed in it.

At its last meeting, the Board of Trustees of Fotomuseum Winterthur elected Madeleine Schuppli as its new co-president. The Zurich native works as a freelance curator, author and lecturer and will chair the board alongside current president Monica Glisenti, effective immediately.

In 2024, Fotomuseum Winterthur will present A Show of Affection – Collection Constellation 1. Based on a selection of works, the exhibition provides an insight into the museum’s collecting activities.

The official groundbreaking ceremony on 17 July 2023 marks the beginning of Fotomuseum Winterthur’s new building and renovation project. The project will remedy structural deficiencies relating to climate control, security and fire protection, while at the same time creating space in which to present contemporary photography and new, experimental exhibition and event formats.
