Description

Barbara Davatz's series from 1972 portrays 38 employees of the H. Walser textile printing company in Zürchersmühle, documenting their names, birthdates, nationalities, and roles. The photographs reflect a calm, unsentimental view of a past working world, raising questions of identity, belonging, and humanity that resonate beyond their time. The exhibition is presented alongside 'Mise en Scène,' which showcases highly staged fashion photography of the textile industry.
