At the Corner of a Street: A Personality

This thematic exhibition examines how street-name plaques conceal biographies, choices and memories that shape Carouge’s identity. It highlights figures commemorated in the urban fabric—political actors, artists and local personalities—through photographs, archival documents and works from the museum collection.
Combining historical records and visual materials, the show reconstructs the city’s transformations and collective memory, questioning how naming practices inscribe social values and local histories into everyday streetscapes.

Zoe A. Keller and Batia Suter reactivate the Eranos Archive in a collaborative project that blends critical essay and photographic installation. Keller’s research interrogates archetypal image systems and proposes the concept of the “anarchetype” to unsettle fixed classifications, while Suter juxtaposes historical Eranos images with contemporary-period photographs. Together they examine ideological contradictions and heterogeneous visual encounters of the interwar archive, opening a fictional conceptual field that foregrounds the archive’s historical vulnerability and the politics of visual classification.
