Shadows & Secrets
Photographs by Hans Signer
‘Shadows & Secrets’ is Hans Signers’ third solo exhibition at LAST,
following on from his highly successful shows ‘Dark City’ and ‘24 Hrs’.
The title of the current exhibition says it all. Signer explores the
mysterious shadows and secrets of some of his favourite places,
from San Francisco to New York, from Lisbon to Zurich. His beautifully
handmade, warm-toned, black and white prints remain rich in contrast
but the mood is perhaps mellower and more contemplative this time.
Born in Zurich in 1956, Signer has been a photographer for nearly 25 years
and has travelled extensively during that time. In looking at Signer’s work
his passion for the paintings of Edward Hopper and the dark, shadowy
world of film noir movies comes as no surprise.
I hope you enjoy the show.
