Produktbeschreibung
Jakob Tuggeners Fabrik, published in Erlenbach Zurich in 1943, is considered to be a milestone in the history of photography books. The series of seventy-two photographs in this Photo Epos of Technology is oriented toward the expressionist aesthetic of the silent movie. It imparts a sceptical view of the destructive potential of unbridled tech nological progress at the time the Swiss military industry was producing weapons for World War II.
Tuggener s uncompromising subjective photography and his critical attitude did not suit his time. Fabrik was not a commercial success the copies were sold at a loss and in part apparently even converted to pulp. Now the work, which has since become a sought-after classic, is being reissued as a reprint with a contemporary afterword.
Autorenporträt
Tuggener, Jakob
Jakob Tuggener (1904-1988) war Fotograf, Filmemacher und Maler. Zu den großen Themen seines fotografischen Werks - die Arbeit in der Fabrik, das einfache Landleben und glanzvolle Feste der besseren Gesellschaft - komponierte Tuggener druckfertige Buchmaquetten, doch allein für Fabrik fand sich ein Verleger. Tuggener wurde von Otto Steinert (Ausstellungen "subjektive fotografie" 1951/53) sowie - vermittelt durch Robert Frank - von Edward Steichen (Ausstellungen "Post-War European Photography" und "Family of Man" 1953/55) präsentiert. 1974 widmete ihm das Zürcher Helmhaus eine große Retrospektive. Tuggener hinterließ ein immenses, praktisch unberührtes Lebenswerk: über 60 Buchmaquetten, Tausende von Ausstellungsfotografien und Arbeitsabzügen, Hunderte von Farbdiapositiven, Zeichnungen, Aquarellen, Ölbildern und über zwanzig Stummfilme.
