photoSCHWEIZ is by far the largest and most important exhibition of photography in Switzerland.
Every year, more than 300 photographers showcase their latest images in an exhibition space of around 7,000 square meters in the beautifully renovated industrial halls of Halle 550 in Zurich-Oerlikon.
As part of the highlights of this year’s exhibition, we discovered the work of Abby Matthews.
Abby Matthews is a passionate photographer. Her interest for art started when she was very young. Growing up, she decided to pursue further her knowledge in photography and took a photography class at M-Art in collaboration with the College of Art in Zürich. From that day on, she felt that photography was more than just a hobby to her and it became her passion. The poetic images she presented were focused on the movement of Sisterhood and woman solidarity.
Lukas Blum is a freelance photographer and graphic designer from Zurich. He studied visual communication at the School of Design in Basel and works for different graphic studios in Zurich and Berlin. As a photographer he works for various clients and realizes his own artistic projects. His focus and interest are the abstract still-life photography.
