What is the status of photography in the Swiss art scene at the beginning of the new century? How do young artists work nowadays? How do they handle the now familiar digitalisation and mediatisation, the growing unreality, the increasingly abstract nature of the world and the advancing revocation of direct perception? In 1999, the Fotomuseum Winterthur introduced a series of young photographers under the title of "Young – New Photography in Swiss Art"; since then, a remarkable number of new photographers have been added to their ranks. The Fotomuseum Winterthur is therefore planning a second exhibition on the theme of contemporary photographic art in Switzerland focused on world reconnaissance, constructions of reality and examinations of the world of the self. The participants in the exhibition are Christian Andersen, Ruth Blesi, Collectif_Fact, Marianne Engel, Klodin Erb / Eliane Rutishauser, Serge Frühauf, Goran Galic / Gian-Reto Gredig, Anna Kanai, Körner Union, Hendrikje Kühne & Beat Klein, Florence Lacroix, Loan Nguyen, Marco Poloni, Katja Richter, Rockmaster K, Daniel Schibli, Christian Schwager, Shirana Shahbazi, Nele Stecher, Christian Waldvogel and Herbert Weber. The curators are Thomas Seelig and Urs Stahel. The exhibition will be accompanied by a book published by Christoph Merian Verlag.
