Guided Tour for Members: Jean Painlevé – Feet in the Water
© Fotomuseum Winterthur / Philipp Ottendörfer
As a member of the Friends’ Association Fotomuseum Winterthur, we offer you an exclusive guided tour to gain an in-depth insight into our current exhibitions and the works on display. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the contents of the exhibition.
This event is exclusively for members of the Friends’ Association Fotomuseum Winterthur. The guided tour takes place in German and is free of charge.
The exhibition Jean Painlevé – Feet in the Water presents the work of French film director Jean Painlevé (1902–1989). Painlevé had a passion for scientific cinema and was interested in engaging a broad audience in the discovery of natural science through film. He devoted most of his life to documenting fauna – especially species from the underwater world. Over a period of more than 50 years, Painlevé shot over 200 short films, marked by his characteristic approach, which he developed through meticulous observation, technical mastery and experimentation. The works in the exhibition – a selection of numerous black-and-white and colour films, photographs and documents – reflect not only his engagement with science but also his desire to share the mysteries of living matter and creatures that inhabit Earth.
