The travelling exhibition PHOTOSUISSSE has been shown already in the Swiss Centre for Culture in Roma, in the contemporary museo from Ascona, in the Pasquart Centre in Bienne and will continue to travel in Switzerland and abroad.
PHOTOSUISSSE is a collection of 28 photographers, who create their own visual worlds. It includes young shooting-stars as well as established figures, who have decisively influenced important developments of the past thirty years.
This fascinating survey is a tribute to contemporary Swiss photography and is presented in two complementary media :
- in film portraits on two DVDs the photographers introduce their world of personal images, generously allowing insight into their creative process;
- the book concentrates on the photography itself showing important works by each exponent in a musée imaginaire.
PHOTOSUISSSE Book and DVD has been published in four languages, french, german, italian and english on the initiative of the Swiss TV channels SRG-SSR-TSI. The Swiss Fondation for Photography played an important role in providing specialist knowledge. Institutions from the different regions in Switzerland -the Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne, the Museo Cantonale di Lugano and the Fotomuseum Winterthur - assisted the producers of PHOTOsuisse.

Larousse : Freedom, the power to act or not to act |
What to do when this freedom becomes a malediction and when one doesn't feel the strength to assume it, to face up to it?
The urban jungle is pitiless towards the weak. Some of them end up dreaming of a haven, even temporary, of a break in the breathless fight for survival.
Karachi, Pakistan, a metropolis where the number of inhabitants oscillates around fifteen millions. It is there that Edhi, nick-named "the male Mother Theresa" has decided to help the rejected people, distributing more than a million free meals a day and saving lives thanks to his armada of ambulances more efficient than those run by the State.
And there are also the famous "Edhi centres" which welcome the mentally handicapped, child pickpockets, repudiated wives, abandoned old people.
Yet these refuges are anything but idyllic and rather evoke the waiting room of hell. Nevertheless they are transitory haven of peace.
True freedom has its value and it has to be built.
Often with the help of others.

 Beside his work as a photo-reporter, Jean Mohr went on searching in a more aesthetical aeria. After the exhibition "The other memorie" in the Rath Museum of Geneva, where he was presenting a range of aesthetical researches in colour he is actually working more and more in this field. |
