Photo Münsingen 2026: Colours of Life – Life in all its facets

"Colours of Life," in its broadest sense, represents the diversity of human experiences, feelings, and life paths, which, like different shades of paint, combine to form a personal whole. Life includes joy, pain, everyday life, and exceptional moments, lending it depth, contrast, and intensity. It is important to consciously perceive and shape this diversity in order to experience one's own life as vibrant, meaningful, and unique.

Photo exhibitions

Marginalized people on the fringes of Hollywood glamour

Carlos Leal is a versatile Swiss artist who has made an international name for himself as a musician, actor, and photographer. His powerful photo exhibition «Heroes of Another Story» Carlos Leal directs his empathetic gaze towards the unseen inhabitants of Los Angeles. His minimalist, understated visual language captures moments of quiet strength and inner resilience, meeting his subjects with profound respect and on equal terms.

Birds are becoming rare – increasingly rare.

Human activity, the decline of their habitats and stopover sites along migration routes, endanger the birds. Their colors, songs, and graceful beauty are being lost. The photo exhibition «Aux Oiseaux» from Lili Roze He seeks an artistic approach to this coexistence. If beauty can save the world, then we begin with the beauty of birds.

Punks in a socially deprived area

Blackpool, the once magnificent seaside resort northwest of Manchester, has long since seen its best days. The punks, who gather there every August, have also lost their revolutionary status. Both seem out of step with the times. Their despair and pessimism, but also their motto "Punks not dead," reflect this. Boris Müller in his photo exhibition «Blackpool».

Art meets science

My face and my body are the main instruments.

As a model in front of the camera, she uses Katerina Belkina the ancient theatrical practice of role-playing. The photography therefore closely resembles a theatrical performance. Her mixed-media work "Grimms' Fairy Tales" combines classic painting colors, photographic reality and collage tradition with digital brushwork to create dreamlike, weightless light spaces from everyday observations.

Trees in reduced landscapes

The series «Digital Art» from Kathrin Federer It explores the quiet presence of individual trees in expansive, minimalist landscapes – often in combination with powerful sky structures and atmospheric cloud formations. It's about reduction, precision, atmosphere, and the question of how little or how much an image needs to be powerful.

Blind spot

Valentina Verdasca On her wanderings, she discovers "blind spots"—striking buildings, surprising perspectives, or hidden places that fascinate through their form, color, or atmosphere. With her friend Oona, she brings these scenes to life: contrasting the emptiness, playing with shapes, and merging with the evocative world of color, as seen in the photo exhibition. "Blind spot".

Photo Münsingen 2024: Music in focus

/from

The theme of “Music” is at the center of Photo Münsingen 2024: the competition for photo clubs and eleven of the 27 exhibitions are dedicated to it. You can see, among other things, rock stars, Elvis impersonators, the inner workings of musical instruments and an interpretation of the work “Pictures at an Exhibition” by Modest Mussorgsky. Let's take a first look at a program full of music photography!

First there is the concert photography: the well-known Swiss photographer Hannes Schmid photographed rock stars on and off stage in the 1980s. In Münsingen he shows a selection of his photographs. They not only show well-known figures, but also capture the cultural changes and gender dynamics of this time.

“Emotions on Stage” is the name of the concert photographer’s exhibition Nicole Rötheli. She is present with the camera when musicians like Hecht, Stress or Stefanie Heinzmann perform. Grant emotional looks in blues and jazz clubs Wolf-Peter Steinheisser and Vicenç Semper.

Dance, instruments and Elvis

Axel Brand focuses on the elegance of dancers in his fine art black and white photography. Charles Brooks In “Architecture in Music” he takes a fascinating look at instruments from the inside.

Graeme Oxby documents the subculture of Elvis impersonators and their stories. Students of the CAP photography school photographed on the topic of “sound colors”.

Mussorgsky reinterpreted

Two special projects make the connection between music and photography directly tangible. Seraina Marchal was commissioned to create photos for the musical piece “Pictures at an Exhibition” by Modest Mussorgsky. Mussorgsky composed his piano cycle in 1874 to match paintings and drawings. 150 years later, Seraina Marchal took the opposite approach for Photo Münsingen and was inspired by Mussorgsky's work. Your images will be projected alongside a piano concert played live by the pianist Martin Klopfenstein and will then be exhibited.

The versatile instrumentalist does it the other way around Wieslaw Pipczynski. He will improvise live on four series of images. Members of various photography clubs submitted the images.

The work of the photo clubs

The central component of Photo Münsingen is the competition for photo clubs. 52 photo clubs from all over Switzerland and neighboring countries took photos on the topic of “Music” and competed with their tableaux in the coveted competition «Photo Muensingen Award». These are being carried out for the second time U25 Photo Challenge and Photo Book Contest.

In the area of ​​club photography they represent Photo clubs from Münsingen, Riedisheim and Kirchzarten Images on the topic of “movement”. Photographers from Münsingen will also present their works on the topic “Electricity and heat”.

PHOTOSUISSE shows the best and award-winning pictures from the annual competition. The award ceremony for the «Swiss Photography Championship» by PHOTOSUISSE will again take place as part of Photo Münsingen.

Animals, places and society

Other photo exhibitions are dedicated to social phenomena: Petra Angela Imhof “Cyberized” explores the relationship between people and technology. Gerardo Garciacano shows street portraits of skiers and snowboarders. Oliver Stegmann takes a look behind the circus scenes in “Circus noir”.

Andrea Knechtle captures forgotten spaces and traces of past lives in “Vestiges – The End of Something”. Unexpected urban perspectives developed Manuel Giron. Romano P. Riedo presents Polaroid images with a special depth. Markus Eichenberger was impressed by the breathtaking starry sky in the Swiss Alps.

Lorenz Andreas Fischer shows animal portraits from Africa. And Karl Schuler After all, he was traveling in the realm of the snow leopards, where he ended up meeting them.

Exciting discussions, over 4000 visitors

/from

The 19th Photo Münsingen moved 4220 visitors to Münsingen over the Ascension Days. The exhibition and lectures on America by Henna and Arthur Honegger were well attended and one of the highlights. The Instagram theme with 9 photographers from Switzerland provided inspiration for new media. The pictures by Janine Machiedo and Susanne Jung are surreal. And the exciting report "In the Nest of the Crocodiles" by Florian Spring also attracted a lot of attention.

The Photo Münsingen Award for the best club work on the topic "Move" went to the Camera Klub Brown Boveri Baden, ahead of the Fotoclub Sense and the Fotofreunde Oberaargau. The exhibitions stimulated discussions and the exchange of experiences. Photo Münsingen was once again a meeting point and source of inspiration for people from all over Switzerland who were interested in photography. Next year, from May 30th to June 2nd, 2019, Photo Münsingen will take place for the 20th time.

The audio vision program and its creation

/from

So about that 30 short audiovisual productions (AV), a full evening Live multivision and the pioneering PHOTOSUISSE competition photos: that actually doesn't sound like much. And yet, the following also applies to the AV: after the Photo Münsingen is before the Photo Münsingen, and sometimes even: before the next one is also before the next but one Photo Münsingen - namely when important AV festivals take place so shortly before the driveway that the shows shown there can no longer be integrated into our programme.

This addresses an important part of the work in the AV department: attending AV festivals. And because there are only two of them in Switzerland, that also means going abroad, evaluating shows, corresponding with the authors of the selected productions, technically checking the incoming files - and finally up to the copy deadline for the brochure Put together a meaningful program so that each of the 6 show blocks lasts between 20 and 25 minutes, has a reasonably meaningful dramaturgical structure, and the audience does not step back into the real world with an overly gloomy expression.

The latter in particular is sometimes a tough nut to crack, because humorous and at the same time well designed shows are not that common. In general, the combination of content and technical brilliance is anything but self-evident.

It initially seems a little easier to find big productions for Friday evening; Organizers such as Explora or Vivamos offer a wide selection. However, the really exceptional speakers often also demand corresponding fees, which are then not always in our budget.

We found an ideal solution for the current year: our department colleague Urs Wohlwend will report on his trip to South America. It is entirely in the spirit of Photo Münsingen to build on its own resources, and when it comes to such a convincing and fascinating production, our decision was made quickly.

Well that Audio vision program 2017 and we now just hope that you like it and that we will be able to welcome you again in large numbers this year in the Füürwehrsaal.

Werner Hoffmann, Audio-Vision department
