Walter Pfeiffer

This publication provides an essential reading of Walter Pfeiffer’s practice in the field of photography. Conceived as a photo book instead of a traditional exhibition catalogue, the publication includes an extensive image section, focused on juxtapositions of images based on visual associations rather than chronology. This editorial decision mirrors the longstanding practice of the artist in the field of bookmaking and honors Pfeiffer’s anti-hierarchical approach, which has been a guiding principle of the exhibition. The publication features an essay by Nicola Trezzi—co-curator of the exhibition alongside Simon Castets—which echoes the exhibition’s structure in order to propose a renewed interpretation of Pfeiffer’s practice, positioning him as a “prophet of image-making.” It is complemented by a fully illustrated list of works, designed to counterbalance the associative logic of the image section with a rigorously constructed historical record.
