guided EXHIBITION TOUR
Fotomuseum Winterthur Director Nadine Wietlisbach, supported by Diana, guided a private tour of ‘Color Mania – the Material of Color in Photography and Film’. The group were taken through the exhibition, illustrating the development of colour in photography and film from the 1840s through to today – with analogue film documents, glass slides and film strips.
