Everybody knows the pictures: The devastating tsunami wave of 2004 in the Indian Ocean, the water surface of Loch Ness, from which the monster “Nessie” emerges, the exploding Twin Towers in New York 2001 and the moon surface on which the footprint of astronaut Edwin Aldrin appears.
The Zurich photographers and ZHdK alumni Jojakim Cortis and Adrian Sonderegger create fascinating miniature models of these iconic photographs with cotton wool, cardboard, glue and other materials and then photograph them together with the utensils used.
In the self-conception of “forensic detectives”, the two artists meticulously analyse the world-famous pictures and tinker with their models for several weeks or even months in order to destroy them again in the end. More than 40 of these photographs can be seen in the exhibition “Jojakim Cortis & Adrian Sonderegger – Double Take” until September 9, 2018 at the Fotostiftung Winterthur.
