photoSCHWEIZ Pop-Ups in Zurich!
Now it's on to the next pop-up exhibition in Zurich, this time in the cozy ELEU Cafébar. As they regularly organize exhibitions with artists, the decision was a real no-brainer!
Daniel Bolliger, the talented artist and long-standing curator of photoSCHWEIZ, will also be present as curator this year. He will be presenting his series "NOW YOU KNOW ME", which inspires with impressive images and expressive portraits.

Between the precision of fashion photography and the creative freedom of digital editing, images are created that show people in their unique qualities and characters. The skillful blend of real and surreal elements opens up a world to the viewer in which beauty and grace exist beyond classical norms. Each photograph is an invitation to question one's own perception of identity, aesthetics and reality.

Daniel Bolliger is presenting an earlier work at photoSCHWEIZ 2025, showing his 20-year-old Polaroids in a playful installation: "Captured in the analog age, it was the spontaneous, imperfect beauty that fascinated me - the raw, immediate expressiveness that the Polaroid brought with it. The pure original.
