The children shining new light on a well-known artist

Handcrafted Swiss horror

The meal plan of tomorrow

Ticking art from a bygone era

Contemporary art from Ticino

Final destination – the South Pacific

When the mountains became the subject of art

Since the emergence of civil aviation, Switzerland has been documented comprehensively using aerial photographs. The images from a bird’s eye perspective have not simply been consigned to the archives; they hang in many public buildings and private homes, and shape the visual memory of the country. In the early years after its foundation in 1931, the aerial photographs business was more lucrative than passenger flights for Swissair. The “Switzairland” exhibition at the Museum Bellpark in Kriens runs until 22 November. Thousands of photos are available online at the “BildarchivOnline” in the Federal Institute of Technology’s library: ba.e-pics.ethz.ch

Die Legende zum letzten Bild haben wir inzwischen korrigiert.
Die Ortschaft unten im Bild ist daher nicht, wie man annehmen könnte, Leibstadt, sondern das deutsche Dogern und links davon, direkt am Rhein ein Teil von Waldshut-Tiengen. Von Leibstadt hingegen sind nur am oberen Bildrand ein paar Häuser zu sehen.
