200 Years of Photography – Past, Present, Future
Overview
Intro
Exhibition at the Gina Aby Gallery in Arbon: 200 Years of Photography, featuring works and historical artifacts.
The Gina Aby Gallery & Studio in Arbon is dedicating an exhibition to the 200-year history of photography. The exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the past, present, and future of a medium that has had a lasting impact on how we perceive the world.
On display are photographic works as well as historic cameras, camera parts, and photographic objects from various eras. Visitors gain direct insight into the technical and artistic development of photography and experience how working methods and visual languages have changed over time.
The theme “Past – Present – Future” connects different generations, techniques, and perspectives. Despite all technical advances, the central impulse of photography remains unchanged: the desire to capture a moment, an emotion, or a memory.
Photography is at once memory, documentation, and an art form. Often, an old camera tells just as much about its era as the images once captured with it.
The opening reception will take place on September 11, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at the Gina Aby Gallery & Studio, Postgasse 4, Arbon.
“200 years of photography mean 200 years of humanity’s attempt to freeze time for a moment.”
