Andri Pol – Poliversum

Description

The exhibition celebrates the work of one of the most influential Swiss photojournalists of recent decades. Since the late 1980s, Andri Pol has shaped publications such as Das Magazin, Zeit Magazin, Stern, or GEO visually with his images and photo columns. The large retrospective at the Fotostiftung Schweiz showcases his versatile work from photo reports, portraits, and everyday observations – taken around the globe, with recurring focuses including Switzerland, Japan, and China. Poliversum spans from his early works to current long-term and book projects, displaying individual images alongside press layouts. Pol's images combine depth with fine visual humor and a keen sense for the extraordinary in the everyday. Sometimes insightful, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, he documents people, places, and situations. His portraits appear spontaneous yet precisely composed; his reports offer surprising perspectives on societal, cultural, and political realities and identities. With his unmistakable style and ability to capture complex topics precisely, Andri Pol is one of the most impressive voices in contemporary documentary photography. His photographic universe invites wonder, smiles, and discovery – visually clever, close to the world, and full of personality.
