Annelies \u0160trba (*1947) is an observer and magician: She captures fleeting moments and creates dream images; life and art intertwine. When her children were small, the camera was part of everyday family life; at night, the mother would develop her prints in the darkroom. Again and again, she adopted new techniques and forms of presentation, for instance when she began working with video in the 1990s and when she eventually started to paint over photographs printed on canvas. While her earlier analogue works play with snapshot
\naesthetics, her video stills and edited digital photographs achieve the intensity of expressionist paintings.<\/p>\n
The Fotostiftung Schweiz collection contains a big group of \u0160trba\u2019s early black-and-white photo canvases and colour photographs \u2013 intimate family scenes, but also bleak facades of large-panel-system buildings and high-rises. This retrospective exhibition, whose title quotes a poem by Emmy Hennings, presents these works for the first time. They are positioned around two newly conceived projections of the work cycles with which Annelies \u0160trba translated her view of the family into images: Shades of Time brings together photographs taken between 1974 and 1997, showing the children Sonja, Samuel and Linda as they grow up. Noonday is dedicated to her children\u2019s children. When these series are seen together, the interweaving of eras becomes tangible. The visual worlds, characterised by subjectivity and intuition, merge to form one comprehensive cosmos.<\/p>\n
