Iren Stehli

Fotostiftung Schweiz, Winterthur

Iren Stehli (born 1953) established her reputation with photographic essays from the Czech Republic. Over a period of decades she accompanied Libuna, a Roma woman living in Prague, through the ups and downs of life. The result is a unique long-term study during which the photographer not only maintained the stance of an objective observer, but also became a friend and confidante. In addition to that "work of a lifetime", Iren Stehli has undertaken many other projects since 1974. These are all characterised by a very special blend of fascination and empathy. Her photographs sensitively capture the way people master everyday life and moments of political turmoil, how they live and socialise, how they share joy and sadness, or overcome loneliness. "So Near, Yet So Far" is the first survey of the oeuvre of this photographer, who was born in Switzerland and lives in Prague. Opening: Friday 7 March 2014, 6pm.
