Photography exhibition: On being in-between

The exhibition "Vom Dazwischensein" shows works by Swiss artists Susanne Hefti and Claude Bühler and deals with the body as a place of inscription, perception and resistance - not necessarily as a clearly visible figure, but as something that arises in spaces, the relationship of the body to space and social spaces. The focus is therefore not on the body as an image, but as a space of experience: as an archive of political, social and emotional processes - and as a way of withdrawing from these processes, renegotiating them or enduring them.

In dialog, the works of Hefti and Bühler unfold a multi-layered understanding of the body as a repository of political inscriptions as well as a place of poetic counter-designs. Both positions negotiate the body as a place where social norms are inscribed - and where, at the same time, possibilities arise to undermine these inscriptions. The body appears as something that is shaped by spaces, and at the same time as something that re-imagines spaces. As something that is shaped by history, control and norms - and at the same time as an opportunity to retell these imprints.

The exhibition invites you to take a closer look, to linger longer and to trust your own body as an instrument of perception. Not everything is visible. Not everything is clear. But much can be felt - in this body.
