To this day, Switzerland is regarded as a country of modernism. At the same time, a glance at the built environment in Wetzikon, Regensberg, or Kloten is enough to call this narrative into question. Cyril Kennel explores postmodern forms in photographic excursions through the suburbia of German-speaking Switzerland. Thus, he focuses on ornamental everyday architecture found in housing developments, shopping malls, and industrial buildings—architecture that has not made its way into Switzerland’s city centers and that continues to receive little attention to this day. The project not only proposes alternative methods for telling cultural history; Kennel also traces the everyday presence of postmodernism.
As part of the Out of Office series, organized by Burkhard Meltzer and Tabea Guhl.
