Kulturnacht Winterthur – Kuratorenführung
Die Führungen finden jeweils um 18:30 und 19:30 statt.
Bis ins hohe Alter hinein erforschte Roger Humbert das Licht und lotete die Grenzen des Fotografischen aus. Nachts experimentierte er in seinem Basler Atelier mit Schablonen, Rastern und Prismen, während er tagsüber als gefragter Werbefotograf arbeitete.
Die Ausstellung eröffnet den Blick auf das Doppelleben dieses bedeutenden Schweizer Fotopioniers, dessen Schaffen rund 70 Jahre umspannt. Zu sehen sind neben seinen eindrücklichen Fotogrammen, Luminogrammen und späteren digitalen Lichtaufzeichnungen auch Fotografien, die auf Reisen nach Italien, in die Niederlande, nach China oder in Basel entstanden sind.
