Hans Signer

STADTGESCHICHTEN
September 1, 2016 – December 24, 2016

Jubilee event #7 brings us back to the place where it all began: Weggengasse in Zurich. It was here in the premises of the old bakery where we opened in 2006 our art gallery. Together with and at our neighbours we will present ‘Cities’ by Hans Signer: spectacular, classy photographs of Zurich and New York.

Photographer Hans Signer and his camera have been on the road since more than thirty years. Among many places, Zurich and the USA–especially New York and Los Angeles–are his preferred destinations. Traveling to the land of unlimited opportunities gives him the chance to update his views of landscapes, cities and the people. Strongly committed to the tradition of the great photographers Hans Signer focuses on the play between light and shadow, shapes, forms and composition. The two extreme colors black and white are juxtaposed and generate a wonderful, atmospheric intensity: the Grossmünster in the backlight, the rainy Paradeplatz-stop or Tinguely's Heureka at the lakeside are just a few images of his Zurich series.

For his photographs Hans Signer works with a middle-format camera and develops the images in his own photolaboratory using high-quality baryt-paper. Hans Signer lives and works in Zurich.
