SO FAR, SO GOOD

In collaboration with Fotofestival Lenzburg, zB.foto Baden and Galerie 94

About the project
In the film La Haine, the line “Jusqu’ici tout va bien” represents an attempt to postpone the inevitable. In the end, it is not the fall that counts, but the landing. This idea inspired the artist Kostas Maros to create his series “Fall Studies”: he photographed jumps into a swimming pool in which the landing ends gently in the water rather than with a crash.
The exhibition, a collaboration between zb.foto Baden, Galerie 94 and Fotofestival Lenzburg, brings together five perspectives on the theme of life transitions. It is about leaving behind old versions of oneself and discovering new identities in the tension between yesterday and tomorrow.

Mirjam Widmer explores caves in the beam of her torch and discovers hidden forms between uncertainty and realisation. Yasmine Bollmann-Wetter shows the “yes” to a new identity as a couple. Samuel Köppel portrays pensioners who find new joy beyond the demands of work. Julie Alejandro captures the world of drag queens and their quest for acceptance. Together, these works optimistically declare: “So far, so good.”
