In keeping with the review of the past months, time is the focus of the last exhibition of the year. The phenomenon of time played a major role in this year’s gallery program.

Günter Schmid shows the interplay between architecture and people in his photographs. Experimental motifs and atmospheric plays of color enrich the meticulous architectural photography.
