The annual photoSCHWEIZ exhibition is a key event for Swiss photographers. It is the largest in Switzerland and aims to provide a representative overview of developments in this artistic medium in the country. Over 250 national and a few international artists will be taking part in photoSCHWEIZ 24 from January 12 to 16. A team of curators will select from the submitted works, which may come from the press, advertising and amateur photography sectors as well as art photography. The prerequisite for selection is that the work was created no more than three years ago and has not yet been published. The exhibition can be viewed daily from 11 am to 8 pm.
A highlight of photoSCHWEIZ is the photoFORUM, where nationally and internationally renowned photographers show current works and give lectures on their work and working methods. In recent years, Anton Corbijn, Steve McCurry, Peter Lindbergh, and René Burri, among others, have traveled to the photoFORUM.
