WHERE THREE DREAMS CROSS -
150 Years of Photography in India,
Pakistan, and Bangladesh

12 June to 22 August 2010
Fotomuseum Winterthur
(Main Gallery & Gallery & Gallery of Collections)

History of photography has been dominated by Europe and the United States. The exhibition Where Three Dreams Cross - 150 Years of Photography from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh and the publication accompanying put on view a photography rich and formally innovative, yet embedded in the culture and politics of South Asia.

HANNES SCHMID - Never Look Back

12 June to 19 September 2010
Fotostiftung Schweiz

The cowboy-hero riding across the apparently endless prairie and never looking back is a modern icon decisively shaped by photographic images - as for example in the legendary Marlboro advertising campaign. Hannes Schmid's photographs, disseminated worldwide on ads and posters, have repeatedly inspired the public's longing for freedom and adventure. What is the secret behind the success of this figure? The exhibition in the Fotostiftung Schweiz throws light both on "the making of" and on the continued survival of a hero who, alongside Mickey Mouse, Tarzan or Barbie, is one of the most influential figures that never existed.

Where Three Dreams Cross -
150 Years of Photography from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh

Saturday, 12 and Sunday 13 June 2010

On the weekend of the official opening a two-day international symposium on South-Asian photography will take place (in English). The accompanying symposium is meant to give an "inside view" of the historical background as well as the contemporary face of South-Asian photography. We have invited a number of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi experts - photographers, theoreticians, curators, teachers and activists - to present and discuss their own photographic works and thoughts as well as specific historical aspects
Programme and registration (there are only a few places left ) on our website's English version.
