"René Mächler (*1936) hat sich als einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der Konkreten Fotografie international einen Namen gemacht. Obwohl die konkrete Fotografie vor allem in ihrer Beziehung zur Kunst der Moderne immer wieder Beachtung findet, dringt sie als eigenständige künstlerische Richtung der Fotografie nur langsam ins öffentliche Bewusstsein.

"Since the late 1960s Christian Vogt has produced a photographic oeuvre impressive for its creative inventiveness and its unexpected twists. He is a master of the art of photographic haikus, and a virtuoso of associative story telling with pictures.

"An enchanting valentine of photograms images made by placing an object on light-sensitive paper, exposing it to light and then fixing the image. Playing, perhaps, with the implications of the nuanced shades of pink created by the process, Swiss artists Francoise and Daniel Cartier have produced a subversive bouquet of ''roses,'' including images of women's lace panties and brassieres, clothing and even locks of hair and jewelry.
