Beat Streuli

(b. 1957)                                                                                                                                               Photography, photographic installation, video. In photographs capturing pedestrians on their daily journeys, he creates „portraits” of the residents of cities around the world. Out of the crowd, he picks people who catch his eye. He is interested in the moment when the mask designated for „others” falls away from the face and the authentic, unposed visage appears. He documents the dynamics of contemporary metropolises as the background for his depictions of their inhabitants.
