The Photographic Long-Term Observation of Schlieren 2005-2020 shows how this part of Switzerland is developing
The long-term Photographic Observation Schlieren is a much-recognized unique research project that documents urban development in Switzerland. Over a period of fifteen years, a photographic record of building activity and urbanization processes was conducted to demonstrate how these are altering the character of a typical Swiss suburban community.
The chosen example was the town of Schlieren, bordering the city of Zurich to the west, whose population grew from 13,000 to 20,000 residents during the observation period of 2005-20. At Sixty-three locations throughout Schlieren, pictures were taken under identical conditions every two years that show the changes in the spatial interplay of buildings, streets, and green spaces. Simultaneously, series of topical detailed photographs were produced that focus on individual objects and tell of the appropriation, design, and aesthetics of habitats, such as store fronts, building entrances, playgrounds, parking entrances, etc.
This two-volume book brings together the results of this spectacular research. The Archive volume features the entire body of the eight images taken at each of the sixty-three sites to visualize the deep changes Schlieren has undergone during these fifteen years. The Essays volume combines the topical image series with essays that offer in-depth examination of the study’s subject, detailed analyses and interpretations, and interviews by expert authors from various disciplines.

Die Bildwelten biologischer Experimentalsysteme als Kunst- und Theorieobjekt
Der Künstler Hannes Rickli befasst sich seit 20 Jahren mit audiovisuellen Aufzeichnungen aus dem Forschungskontext der Verhaltensbiologie. Die Videogramme eröffnen einen ungewöhnlichen Einblick in naturwissenschaftliche Versuchanordnungen. In diesem überschüssigen Beiwerk der wissenschaftlichen Daten, sozusagen im Schatten der Objektivität, wird erkennbar, dass die Herstellung wissenschaftlicher Tatsachen nicht einfach nach zuvor festgelegten Plänen erfolgt, sondern sich im physischen Widerstand zwischen menschlichen, technischen – und tierischen – Akteuren ereignet. Bei den Videogrammen handelt es sich um einen Typus instrumentaler Bewegtbilder, der von den Bildwissenschaften und der Bildtheorie bis anhin kaum beachtet worden ist. (dt./engl.)

Public Spaces in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong
In strongly globalized cities there are fast transformation processes on the move, reinforced by the neo-liberal policies and the resulting economic, social, urban and cultural policy strategies. From a research perspective, a main question is how to capture, describe and interpret such developments taking place at a fast pace.
Researchers and artsts from Hong Kong and Zurich worked together in a small area of Sham Shui Po, one of the poorest and still most traditional Districts of Hong Kong, to investigate its public spaces according to topics of urban transformation and gentrification.
