Picture exhibition at the Aarau City Museum
From A for Abel Heidi to Z for Zurbriggen Pirmin. For the digital picture show from the Ringier Picture Archive (RBA), we took a close look at celebrity pictures and tracked down the magic formula for effective poses.

The digital tête-à-tête of General Henri Guisan with rocker Alice Cooper, singer Nella Martinetti with boxing legend Muhammad Ali and many others reveals amusing similarities and exciting contrasts between various celebrity images. In addition, a small exhibition through the stairwell provides an insight into the materiality of press photography and the filing system of the Ringier picture archive. "Celebrities in front of the lens" is a continuation of the 2016 photo exhibition.
