Veranstaltungsdetails
For a long time, every portrait was a special feature, an exclusive snapshot and a picture for eternity. So it is not surprising that nothing was left to chance when taking the picture: Composition, lighting, clothing, accessories, posture or the gaze - everything was thought through. Even in the earliest photographs in our collection, the daguerreotypes of the Schröter family from 1853, but also in the most recent ones, the passport photos from the vending machine from the 1990s, this representation, the staging of a particular image, is central.
With selected portraits of people from Rheinfeld, we take a look back into the past and use gems from the collection to show the range of human portrayals in a private and public context, as well as the different forms of representation and (self-)staging.
And today? Smartphones and photo apps are omnipresent - and for once also in the Fricktal Museum! Stage yourself exclusively at our selfie spot "Please hold still". You are welcome to share your picture with us at #SelfieFMR.
