Ernst Scheidegger, born 1923 in Rorschach, Switzerland, was an associate of the prestigious ’Magnum’ photography agency, and an editor at the Swiss newspaper ´Neue Zürcher Zeitung´. He was a friend of Alberto Giacometti, the now internationally known sculptor and painter, for more than twenty years until his death. A number of photographs are the result of this friendship from the beginning in Stampa, the home of the Giacometti family in Switzerland, and the modest studio of Giacometti in Paris (France). Scheidegger has documented both Giacometti´s personality and work, and has published both of them in numerous catalogues and movies, for galleries as well as in books of his own publishing firm.
In addition, the screen author Scheidegger produced an internationally known documentary movie about Giacometti´s life from the 50th until he died. In 2001, Scheidegger was honoured as an ´Officier de l´Ordre des Arts and Lettres´ by the French Ministry of Culture.

Corinna Rosteck born 1968, portrays in her scenic photographs the well known Butohdancer Aya Irizuki with an exceptional emphasis on the expressive japanese dance in the industrial atmosphere of MUMA, a huge former Berlin energy storage power station. The empty halls serve as an impressive background for the choregraphy of light and shadow, and the rhythm between the columns turns into a sculptural staging. The gestures and arabesques of the dancing body of Aya Irizuki invoke the unusual halls; a rhythm that dissipates, recovers and scrutinizes between the columns.
