Location : Architekturfoyer, HIL, Hönggerberg, ETH Zurich
Opening event with lecture on 21. September 2011
Since autumn 2010, the exhibition series “Architecture Photography Positions” has been examining the ways in which architecture can be presented photographically through a range of contrasting approaches.
This semester, Dominique Marc Wehrli juxtaposes series of images displayed on screens and their graphic reproductions on paper. Through the sophisticated use of printing ink and halftones, he highlights the differences between these home-printed image series and standardized representational processes, revealing offset printing as a largely unexplored medium of photography. With their interweaving of architecture, the photographic image and printing technology, the photographs on paper become tailor-made depictions of the colour and light moods of photographed architecture and, as free-standing graphics, have little in common with the industrially standardized processes of photographic mass repro-duction in the print media. Dominique Marc Wehrli thus uses the digitization and demateri-alization of the photographic process as an opportunity to rediscover photography as a ma-terial medium in the form of graphic reproductions.
An exhibition by the Institute gta with Dominique Marc Wehrli in collaboration with Swiss Foundation of Photography, Winterthur, and Keystone, Zurich
