The MAST Foundation presents The Power of Images, a new exhibition from its industrial photography collection. A fascinating visual journey, with more than one hundred works, which shows the disruptive expressive power of the photographic language in its many meanings.
Curated by Urs Stahel, the exhibition gathers a vast selection of photographs from the world of labour, an abundance of insights into heavy manufacturing, machine industry, digitisation, and throw-away society. The views of over sixty photographers guide us into the world of production and consumption, and simultaneously draw us along emotionally, developing a new way of seeing.
Among the photographers on display: Berenice Abbott, Richard Avedon, Margaret Bourke-White, Thomas Demand, Simone Demandt, Jim Goldberg, Hiroko Komatsu, Germaine Krull, Catherine Leutenegger, Edgar Martins, Rémy Markowitsch, Richards Misrach, Jules Spinatsch, Edward Steichen, Thomas Struth, Shomei Tomatsu and Marion Post Wolcott.
Thanks to their works, «the exhibition traces central spaces in the industrial-technological system, it touches upon social and political questions, but rather than simply identifying hard facts the images attempt to depict more extensive, deeper connections, to present us with complex, even perceived realities, also implying an emotional involvement. The visual universe of industry and work, factory and society that unfolds within the show is informed by the notion of multifacetedness, of a reality consisting in many layers and different timelines, all running parallel to each other or intersecting».
