It will open exactly 100 years after the Group’s first exhibition in June 1911.

Alexander Rodchenko – Revolution in Photography
Fotomuseum Winterthur
28.05.-14.08.2011
Modernism made photography what it is. It gave it self-confidence and made it trust itself. Self-confidence because photography in the 1920s recognized and developed its own possibilities and qualities: a probing vision of the world, an investigation of the visible reality from various perspectives, direct, clear, from above, below, behind, from the front, but without references to the pool of art history. Russian Constructivism is an important part of this great shift.
