VERNISSAGE AND ARTIST TALK: MONA KUHN - SHIMMERING: BILDHALLE ZURICH

VERNISSAGE: THURSDAY, 23 OCTOBER 2025, 18:00 - 20:00 H

ARTIST TALK WITH MONA KUHN: 19:00 H

Shimmering marks Mona Kuhn’s first solo show in Switzerland, bringing together two of her acclaimed series: She Disappeared into Complete Silence and Kings Road. In both bodies of work, Kuhn presents the nude with a humanistic approach by juxtaposing the elusive presence of a solitary figure with the elemental geometry of modernist architecture, thereby shifting figuration into abstraction and raising questions about presence and absence, memory and imagination.  

Mona Kuhn is considered among the most respected and collectable photographers of her generation, with her work held in major institutional and private collections worldwide. Born to German parents in São Paulo, Brazil, the American artist is a citizen of the world. With an open mind and an empathetic gaze, she distills the human figure to its essence through a reductionist yet poetic aesthetic, rendering it both intimate and universal.

The exhibition at Bildhalle Zurich runs from 23 October  - 6 December 2025
