photo16 Exhibit (Zürich)

Zürich is hosting photo16, the annual photography exhibit. The event has established itself as Switzerland’s largest showcase of photography.

The organizers of photo16 have invited more photographers than ever: 150 professional and amateur artists from the areas of advertising, art and press will be highlighting their best photographic work.

We have never missed a year because we love the setting of the formerly industrial Maag factory. The urban industrial halls create a perfect backdrop for photography. We are super excited that there is a platform for user generated content: The top 100 photographs tagged with #dasischzüri will be displayed.

As part of photo16, the Swiss Photo Academy will be awarding the designation of “Swiss Photographer of the Year”. The nominees are Nico Krebs/Taiyo Onorato, Pascal Mora, Anne Morgenstern, Flurina Rothenberger, and Meinrad Schade.

And finally, the photoFORUM will host international top photographers such as Christopher Morris.
