Below you will find information on current and previous projects of Fotomuseum Winterthur.
Photographic Encounters
With the biennial format Photographic Encounters Fotomuseum Winterthur and Christoph Merian Verlag accompany a photographer/artist in the realisation of an exhibition and a publication. A jury consisting of experts and representatives of Fotomuseum Winterthur and Christoph Merian Verlag selects a photographer in a multi-stage process who will work on a project in close cooperation with the museum and the publishing house for around twelve months.
SITUATIONS
Memes and GIFs, selfies and Instagram filters, algorithms and neural networks, screenshots and drone images, networked feminism and online activism, content moderators, influencers and attention economies: In recent decades, the networked digital image has spawned new visual forms and cultural practices at a phenomenal speed – with unprecedented social and political ramifications. The SITUATIONS format has tracked and analysed these photographic developments over a period of five years.
