Photo exhibition Archive du Futur Antérieur
In 1980, Eliane Laubscher stays for one month in the medina of En 1980, Essaouira with the dutch photographer Robb Casimir Alexander Buitenmann (1946-2015). Their family and kids trip becomes some kind of artistic residency for photographers. Both photographers were very prolific and made beautifull photos that they brought back to Switzerland with them. These images stayed ever since hidden in the archives.
In 2024, les Archives du Futur Antérieur (AFA) ask for the permission to look at the archive of Eliane Laubscher and decides to make a selection of photos dedicated to women and to show them where they were made, in Essaouira, 43 years later.
We then went on to knock on the door of la Délégation du Ministère de la Jeunesse, des Sports et de la Culture du Maroc in Essaouira with a photo exhibition project. A place and a date are settled right away.
The exhibition will take place at Borj Bab Marrakech, from 05.07 - 20.07 h Opening july 5th 2024 at 6 pm.
We now have 29 days left to find the financing for our exhibition.
