“Photography is always suspended between authenticity, construction and selection … a balancing act that is, to me, its quintessential justification as an artistic medium” Shirana Shahbazi Shirana Shahbazi adopts different approaches to photography in her work and explores genres as varied as the vanitas still-life, portraiture, landscape and colour abstraction. Shahbazi is just as mobile in her choice of media, for example commissioning carpet makers in her native Iran and billboard painters to copy her images. Often employing the slick look of commercial photography, Shahbazi’s images are bright and accessible, yet at heart dispassionate and sceptical. Shirana Shahbazi was born in Tehran in 1974, moved to Germany in 1985 and today lives in Zurich. Shahbazi studied photography and design at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Dortmund and at Zurich University of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited at venues including the Centre d’Art Contemporain in Geneva, Barbican Art Gallery in London and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.

Walter Keller gründete 1978 Der Alltag – Sensationen des Gewöhnlichen, 1984 mit Bice Curiger, Jacqueline Burckhardt und Peter Blum zusammen die Kunstzeitschrift Parkett, 1991 den Fotobuchverlag Scalo – Books and Looks, 1993 dann die Gründung des Fotomuseum Winterthur. Ein eindrückliches Palmarès. Aber dürftig verglichen mit der überbordenden Kreativität, Neugier, Inspiration und Energie, mit der Walter Keller fast 40 Jahre lang Freunde, Feinde, Journalisten, Galeristen, Ausstellungsmacher, Fotografen, Publizisten, Grafiker und Sammler irritierte, faszinierte, motivierte und mit seinem Insistieren zur Verzweiflung trieb. In der Nacht auf den 1. November 2014 verstarb Walter Keller völlig überraschend; mitten in den Vorbereitungen zu Ausstellungen über Dürrenmatt und den Kalten Krieg, über zeitgenössische chinesische Fotografie und tausend weiteren Ideen. Walter Keller war Verleger, Motivator, Blattmacher, Coach und Netzwerker, aber vor allem ein hinreissender Freund und mitreissender Weggenosse. Das Buch will nicht beleuchten und erklären, was er gemacht hat, sondern wie er sein Umfeld grundsätzlich zu Exponaten seiner Weltausstellung machte und warum. Herausgegeben, begleitet, kuratiert, verfasst, produziert wird es von Menschen, deren Leben Walter verändert und bereichert hat. Das Buch wird keine Chronologie von Walter Kellers Schaffen sein, sondern ein impressionistisches wie selektiv-subjektives Sammelsurium seiner ungezähmten Originalität.

The creator of radical and poetic work, Boris Mikhailov focuses his camera on people's everyday life, capturing both the social and historical conditions in the Soviet Union and the changes that occurred after 1989, with the breakdown of order in the Ukraine. In the 1970s, Mikhailov started to photograph "life the way it is." He dealt with the "city without a main street," the anti-heroic, the incidental, the private sphere and leisure time in the Soviet Union. His book Case History, a heart-wrenching monument to the forgotten losers of system change, documented the plight of the homeless in the Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The critical aspects of his photographs, provocative performances and combinations of words and images make Mikhailov a conceptual documentary artist who creates moving images of the wounded human soul--simultaneously full of humor and seriousness. This book is dedicated to Mikhailov's entire oeuvre. Essays on individual works and periods run together with a flow of images to underline his different photographic techniques and to deepen our understanding of a rich work that intentionally seems unspectacular. Created in collaboration with Fotomuseum Winterthur. Essays by Urs Stahel, Ekaterina Dyogot, Anne von der Heiden, Michael Schischkin, Inka Schube, Helen Petrovsky and Margarita Tupitsyn.
