Photo paradise Lötschental

The museum wants to put this treasure trove to good use with its exhibition. It is not just about showing pictures. Rather, the images are to be placed in a variety of contexts and photography is a way of appropriating the world. But is a photograph an image or an interpretation of the world? Is it a memory or an idea with which we interpret the world? Under what circumstances and with what intentions were the photographs taken? And finally, who owns the image? The photographer or the photographed? The special exhibition at the Lötschental Museum explores questions such as these: Uses of photography. - Photography and ethnography. - Churchmen behind the camera. - The view from the outside. - Vacation memories. - Mountain photography. - Industrial photography. - Image and death. - Photography and painting. - Who determines the image? - Today's local photographers. - Contemporary art photography.
