Paare / Couples

In 2015, filmmaker Iwan Schumacher began collecting photographs of couples not looking at the camera. Peter Pfrunder, Director of the Fotostiftung Schweiz, had long been planning an exhibition of couple pictures from the Fotostiftung's archives and collections. Together they developed the project Paare / Couples. It brings together a wide variety of photographs in which something happens between two people. Each individual image is an excerpt from a story that always remains enigmatic and leads to speculation or projections. The exhibition is a playful, associative presentation in which the many snapshots come together to form a new story.
