"Beat Streuli"
1999-08-28 until 1999-10-24
Kunsthalle
Zurich, , CH Switzerland

Born 1957 in Altdorf, Switzerland, lives in Düsseldorf People in anonymous, pulsating street scenes of the worldís greatest cities are the subject of Beat Streuli's camera work. Single photographs are projected onto walls in large-format, slow-motion sequences. Shots of a face, a gesture, a look fade into each other as if in calmly rhythmic respiration without a narrative. At times the panorama divides into several pictures. The artist's detached observation is not directed towards crowds but rather towards mostly young individuals and their sense of nomadic suspension. The public space of the street is divested of specific cultural features; it is assimilated into a global choreography.
