Opening:
Nov. 5, 2015, 6pm

Exhibition: Nov. 6 – Dec. 12, 2015

In collaboration with ETH-Bibliothek’s Image Archive (ETH – Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), Counter Space presents a three-part, associative image and sound project based on the historical genre of the diaporama. The exhibition will find surprising ways to examine the issue of how historical material reaches the present and which changes it undergoes in the process.

The three-part diaporama at Counter Space will comprise of a selection of photographs from the holdings of the former Zurich-based photographic agency Comet Photo AG. ETH-Bibliothek acquired the collection in the year 2000, thereby expanding its collection activities to include a field that goes way beyond the archiving of science history photographs.
