Born in 1943 in Aarau, the multifaceted work of Hugo Suter has gained recognition through numerous museum and gallery exhibitions. The artist’s in-depth inquiry into image-making was presented in the 1970s under the rubric of “the drawing mindset,” and his ongoing preoccupation with the lake he has lived at for more than thirty years now (the Hallwiler-See), as well as his work with glass, has garnered him wide acclaim. Surprisingly, photography, along with a wide variety of media and techniques, is a consistently recurring medium throughout his entire career. However, Suter does not use the camera as a means of imagemaking, but rather as a working tool in his ongoing perception and cognition research. Frequently, his small-scale, journal-like pictures will first record something that will subsequently become the focus of larger-scale works. The present exhibition highlights the importance of photography within his oeuvre, thus drawing attention to a hitherto neglected aspect of his art.
