With this photobook by Katalin Deér, the Fondation Beyeler sheds light on the experience visitors have when they encounter art, nature and architecture. The renowned museum of modern and contemporary art near Basel invited the photographer and artist for three years as a silent observer of its evolution. With her sensitive eye for the special in the everyday, she has captured in images the magic of the much-loved place, making visible the many relationships that connect art with its surroundings and with people. Inside and outside change with the seasons and with the shifting exhibitions and cultural events. At the same time, the photographs record the transformation of the Fondation Beyeler itself: Renzo Piano's famous museum building is being extended by new buildings by Peter Zumthor into a new ensemble, and the architecture fits respectfully into the listed park with its giant trees, water-lily ponds, historic buildings and modern sculptures. The photographs are shaped by the immediate perception and observation of art, nature, architecture and the people who move, and are moved, within them.
