Fragility Road Steps of Melancholy I travelled between space and time, between touch and smell, between sight and hearing. Everything was open, closed in my house. The rust-coloured air smells of antiquity. Of an antique that, you feel, belongs to you. Of an antique that speaks to you. That colour speaks to you. Roots present in things appear to you in the flow of views and perspectives. Visions of feeling…

Being: I am in, I found you I became who I was afraid of becoming. A being with a social form as its only identity. And the worst thing for the one I was is that he did rather well. 40 years ago I was doing photography then for more than 20 years I stopped. I traveled and led a professional career as a sociologist, leaving the photography boxes in…

Staged on a farm in rural Japan, externaling Higashikawa in Hokkaido, Osamu Yokonami’s (b. 1967, Japanese) images demonstrate his particular use of photography as an artistic medium. Working with straightforward camera angles, Yokonami transforms ordinary bodies, farming tools and the local produce into haunting images—unexpectedly absurd and familiar. Headless figures, an aubergine-masked face, an abandoned baby on a paper bag, a topless character submissively kneeling in the grass while balancing…
For I Left My Grandmother’s House, Victoria Hely-Hutchinson (b. 1984, British) turns not only her eye, but her ear as well to her extended family in Austria, merging fragments of family lore with keenly observed photographs. The work neither provides a tidy critique of the extant aristocracy, nor does it blithely venerate the decor, saying “ooooh,” while rolling the brocade curtains between its fingers. Instead, it simply shows and tells,…
I’ve never observed Benedict Brink (b. 1985, Australian) step towards perfection, I get a sense of disdain for anything too clean, or right-angled. People often mistake her for a man because of her name. I think perhaps, it’s also due to this crude-commitment type-way of seeing. Benedict defies any traditions of how an image of a body may be expected to be represented through a female lens — or male…
Galerie Julian Sander presents a selection of photographs from the private archive of Rosalind Fox Solomon. Solomon began her photographic career in the early 1970s, where she studied with Lisette Model during regularly trips to New York City. ‘My liberation began with her,’ she said. ‘I took all kinds of pictures. Model encouraged me to go for the strongest picture, not to be afraid because they were disturbing.’ Rosalind Fox…
Mauro Restiffe's photographs at Villa Sauber capture the spirit of Santo Sospir, the villa Jean Cocteau lived in and decorated in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat between 1950 and 1962. When he entered Santo Sospir for the first time in the spring of 1950, Jean Cocteau was sixty years old. Build in Saint-Jean Cap-Ferrat, overlooking the harbor of Villefranche-sur-Mer, the villa was a haven of peace for him, reminiscent of his youthful days on…
This photographic series by Mahdi Ehsaei shows a side of Iran, which is widely unknown even to Iranians: a minority of people who influenced the culture of a whole region by continuing their African heritage with their clothing style, their music, their dance and their oral traditions and rituals. Ehsaei set out to the Hormozgan Province in the Persian Gulf to shed some light on this part of Iran, which…
Japanese jazz bars and coffee shops are insular worlds where time ceases to exist, removed from the speed and chaos of the modern urban landscape. Tokyo Jazz Joints is a visual chronicle of this unique culture that captures the transient beauty of these spaces. Established in 2015 to document Tokyo’s myriad »jazu kissa«, the project has gradually expanded to cover the whole of Japan.These dedicated jazz listening spaces are slowly…

The Bildhalle gallery in Zurich presents until November 16 an exhibition by Anna Cabrera and Angel Albarrán entitled: Between The Real And The Unreal. “At first we photographed with the simple intention of recording what we saw.

Thus, photography has in this way become the perfect philosophical tool with which to understand the…
