With Zeitspuren, the Photoforum Pasquart, the Art Centre Pasquart and the New Museum Biel partner for a project articulated around the topic of time and its passage.

The Photoforum invites the three photographers who founded the independent Catalan publishing house Ca l’Isidret: Aleix Plademunt, Juan Diego Valera and Roger Guaus.

The Photoforum is looking forward to presenting the first solo exhibition of Lisa Lurati (*1989, lives and works in Lugano and Berlin).

The Photoforum is looking forward to hosting the 22nd instalment of the Biel/Bienne Festival of Photography. The Swiss annual rendezvous for emerging photography presents young photographers from Switzerland and abroad.

In her artistic practice, Dorothée Elisa Baumann (*1972, lives and works in Biel and Geneva) provokes shifts and transfers, and thus creates visual obstacles for the spectator.

Adrian Sauer (*1976, lives and works in Leipzig, DE) explores in his photographs the foundations of a medium which, since its beginnings, has seen changes like no other medium.

The 25th edition of the Photoforum Pasquart photography competitions gives selected artists the opportunity to discuss their work, submit it for expert consideration and display it in a curated exhibition. One male and one female winner will be awarded the prize and corresponding prize money.

Disruptive Perspectives is an exhibition that focuses on gender, an aspect of human identity that is often expressed and understood through visual indicators. A collaboration between the Photoforum Pasquart and the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago.

Rachel de Joode and Alexandra Navratil form a link between the past and the present, and enthusiastically break free from traditional ideas of how photography can manifest itself today.

Every year in May works of about 25 national and international photographers are exposed in the city of Biel.

Prix Photoforum 2016 87 Bewerber_innen nahmen am diesjährigen Prix Photoforum teil. Unsere Jury hat die Künstler_innen und die Preisträgerin ausgewählt. Auf die Ausstellenden wartet seit der Neulancierung des Prix Photoforum ein Kick-Off-Day mit Expertinnen und Experten.

In ihrer Arbeit folgt Cécile Hummel (*1962, Basel) den Spuren der Vergangenheit um die Gegenwart zu würdigen. Inspiriert durch persönliche Reisen oder Berichte über historische Expeditionen, überträgt sie ihr Erleben auf ihre Werke, wo sich Vergängliches mit Zeitlosem überlagert.

Yann Laubscher (*1986, Lausanne), Regine Petersen (*1976, D-Hamburg), Aleix Plademunt (*1980, ES-Girona) und Jonathan Roessel (*1989, Renens) nutzen die Fotografie als Recherche-Werkzeug.

Die Arbeit von Simon Rimaz (*1987, Freiburg) dreht sich um die Manipulation und Verfälschung von bestehenden Bildern. Indem er in die Rolle des Anatomen schlüpft, seziert er Archivdokumente, um deren Erinnerungskraft auf die Probe zu stellen und neue Formen zu schaffen.
