| Fotostiftung Schweiz is expanding: From mid-September 2022, it will be operating on additional premises at Grüzenstrasse 45 in Winterthur. Treasures from the collection and archives will be presented in a new exhibition room. Right next door, in the adjacent archive room, the infrastructure for processing photo archives has been enlarged and modernised. Since 1971, Fotostiftung Schweiz has been devoted to preserving, researching and conveying photographic works. On behalf of the Federal Office of Culture, it looks after around 100 prominent photographers’ archives or partial archives and a comprehensive collection of Swiss photography. On its new converted premises, covering an area of 250 m², visitors will for the first time be able to take a look behind the scenes of Fotostiftung Schweiz and thus have increased access to its wide-ranging activities. |

Déjà vu? Part 1
The first two exhibitions in room 2 are dedicated to the high-calibre collection that the association Friends of Fotostiftung Schweiz has amassed since it was founded in 1982. Today, this collection comprises over 2000 photographs and has two focal points: outstanding works from the history of international photography and important positions in recent Swiss photography. To mark the association’s 40th anniversary, these two focal points are to be presented one after the other. |

| Under the title Déjà-vu? Part 1, the aim is, on one hand, to take a fresh contemporary look at masterpieces from the history of photography, by photographers such as Man Ray, Julian Margaret Cameron, Alexander Rodchenko and Berenice Abbott; on the other hand, the story of how this collection came about, the value attached to it and the gaps within it are to be addressed and thematised. Déjà vu? Part 2 will then look at innovative positions in Swiss photography that have been integrated via purchases by Friends of Fotostiftung Schweiz since 2008. |
