Stammtisch
Collectif Le Salon & guests

“Stammtisch” by Collectif Le Salon and seven guest artists examines the complex symbolism of traditional community spaces. At the center of the exhibition is a round table, which provides the backdrop for an exploration of the Stammtisch as a place of comfort and controversy. The installation presented at the Biel/Bienne Festival of photography comprises 15 diaries, each artistically interpreting the concept of the Stammtisch, drawing inspiration from a variety of perspectives ranging from the societal observations of the Federal Department of Home Affairs to the reflections of Reiner Maria Rilke, Marie Curie and Pablo Escobar.
