Body Figurations

The Bildhalle of Zurich puts black-and-white experiments by photo artist Christian Scholz on display. On view from 10 February until 23 March, 2017.

Flying bodies, human bodies, bodies of sound and animal bodies: ‘The Body Project’ is the first exhibition to provide an insight into all four body figurations that artist Christian Scholz has worked on so persistently for more than ten years. Scholz combines formal rigour, sophisticated abstraction and keen observation to create a cosmos of parallels, puzzles, certitudes and irritations. The observer of his black-and-white photographs embarks on a journey to the edges of form and content: a body is a body, unique and entirely new, with every coming day.

Christian Scholz was born in Stockholm in 1951 and now lives and works in Zurich. Mostly, Scholz works for years, and even decades, on series and groups of works. The results are single editions or portfolios of art.
