Photosuisse

Book Description
Switzerland has long had world-class photographers in Robert Frank, Werner Bischof, and René Burri. Photosuisse takes a look at the next generation, the internationally renowned Thomas Flechtner, Annelies Strba, Balthasar Burkhard, Beat Streuli, Olaf Breuning, Luc Chessex, Georg Gerster, Urs Lüthi, Jean Mohr, and others, bringing together "young meteors" as well as established photographers who have triggered developments over the past 30 years. Photosuisse acts as a sort of "musée imaginaire" of contemporary Swiss photography and puts forth a nation of 27 unique viewpoints between the covers of a book. In addition to generous spreads of images, each artist is represented by film portraits produced by Swiss Television and collected in two DVDs. Essay by Peter Pfrunder. Paperback, 6.5 x 9.5 in. / 350 pgs / 300 color.

PHOTOsuisse is a collection of 28 photographers, who create their own visual worlds. It includes young shooting-stars as well as established figures, who have decisively influenced important developments over the past thirty years. This survey is a tribute to contemporary Swiss photography and is presented in two complementary media: In film portraits on two DVDs the photographers introduce their world of personal images, generously allowing insight into their creative process, the book concentrates on the photography itself showing important works by each exponent in a musee imaginaire.
