Gazes Out of Time
Perspectives on the Collection I
Exhibition
27.03.21 – 24.04.22
What can the pained gaze of Lucretia, painted around 1530 by Cornelis Bazelaere, tell us today? Looking at himself in the mirror in 1917—the year before his death—Ferdinand Hodler continues to look searchingly at us today. Gazes are also central to new media: in photographic self-portraits, Manon and Urs Lüthi paraphrase social roles and at the same time take up the classical tradition of reflection in self-portraits. Videos by Keith Sonnier, Pipilotti Rist, and Candice Breitz analyze contemporary attitudes toward the body and the position of the individual in modern society.
