Travel selfies or holiday snaps on Facebook – traveling seems to inspire photography. Here is a small sample of what to expect.The exhibition “Faraway Focus – Photographers Go Traveling (1880-2015)” offers a stroll through the history of travel photography. As a genre, travel photography emerged around the same time as mass tourism in the late 19th century, when it reinforced expectations of foreign destinations as being exotic. The exhibition presents over 180 works by 17 photographers and reflects the history of 20th-century art photography. The different approaches illustrate changes in visual idiom and perceptions from early travel photography down to our globalized world.
