PhEST 2023 – FESTIVAL INTERNAZIONALE DI FOTOGRAFIA E ARTE

PhEST 2023 – FESTIVAL INTERNAZIONALE  DI FOTOGRAFIA E ARTE

PhEST is photography, cinema, music, art, and contaminations from the Mediterranean. PhEST is born out of the need to give back a voice to the thousand identities that form the “sea within the lands”, the need to redefine a new, original imagery. The necessity is not to erase the distance that the Mediterranean creates among these identities, because this sea, in fact, creates them and blends them. The need is rather to stitch back together the divide between reality and its representation, beyond the theater of truth, beyond that stage of the real that the West has often set up.

  • I’m a thousand different people–Every one is real

    2024-03-15 – 2025-01-05 · New York, United States of America
    I’m a thousand different people–Every one is real

    Taking its title from a drawing by artist and queer icon Candy Darling, this exhibition brings together a selection of works recently acquired by the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art. Darling’s words evoke the multidimensionality of queer and trans life and artistic practices that insist on defining art and life entirely on one’s own terms. Taken together, the exhibited works–across various media and representational styles–embrace a spectral, prismatic approach to rendering LGBTQIA+ existence. Both contemporary and historical, the works elide the demand for authenticity and easy legibility, instead holding space for plurality, reinvention, and fantasy.

  • L’OBJECTIF FLÂNEUR Fotografinnen und Fotografen aus dem Pressearchiv «Heim und Leben»

    2024-08-24 – 2024-12-08 · Kriens, Switzerland
    L’OBJECTIF FLÂNEUR Fotografinnen und Fotografen aus dem Pressearchiv «Heim und Leben»

    “Heim und Leben” was an illustrated magazine for the general public with a high proportion of images, which offered a platform for important positions in Swiss reportage photography. The magazine’s extensive image archive, which was published by CJ Bucher-Verlag, came under the responsibility of the Museum im Bellpark after the publisher was dissolved. With the support of Memoriav, the association for the preservation of audiovisual cultural assets, the photo collection was secured and inventoried. After completing this work, the museum in Bellpark is now offering an in-depth look at the remarkable press archive, which documents social change in the period from 1930 to 1960. The presentation focuses on those photographers who shaped the profile of the popular magazine.

  • Binia Bill – Images and Fragments

    2024-10-19 – 2025-01-26 · Winterthur, Switzerland
    Binia Bill – Images and Fragments

    Binia Bill (1904­–1988) turned to photography with ambition and confidence. After training as a concert cellist, she attended the photography class given by Lucia Moholy at Berlin’s Itten School in 1930 and worked as a freelance photographer when back in Zurich. In 1931, she married the architect and artist Max Bill. To earn a living, the couple worked together on advertising commissions, for which she produced the images while he designed the typography and layout. In the years that followed, Binia Bill created a remarkable photographic oeuvre: Her portraits and still lifes are characterised by a clear visual language that is related to the aesthetics of the ‘Neues Sehen’ movement. Binia Bill’s interest in perspectives and surfaces, in playing with light and shadow, was combined with a very distinct sensitivity though, which influenced her view of objects, plants, animals and people.
