On October 1, 1977, the Clash played Switzerland for the very first time. Their 15-track set at Kaufleuten in Zürich began with “London’s Burning” and “Complete Control” — and somewhere in the audience, 16-year-old Bruno Stettler was taking his very first concert photographs. Over the next decade, Stettler would go on to take 20,000 photographs at nearly 100 rock concerts around town, capturing the raw intimacy of live shows long before they became overproduced spectacles. In his new book, Als War’s Das Letze Mal (Sturm & Drang), Stettler takes us on a magical trip through the looking glass, back in the late 1970s and ’80s, when legends like Bob Marley, David Bowie. Iggy Pop, Debbie Harry, Nina Hagen, and Kraftwerk called the shots. Posted Thursday 14th March, 2019 Text by Miss Rosen Photography © Bruno Stettler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Between 1978 and 1988, Swiss photographer Bruno Stettler captured around 100 rock and pop concerts in and around Zürich, resulting in a trove of 20,000 pictures. The names read like a "Who's Who" of music history: AC/DC, ABBA, Ramones, Queen, Blondie, The Clash, Bob Marley, David Bowie, The Runaways, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Kraftwerk, Nena, Nina Hagen, Genesis, Roxy Music, Plasmatics, Iggy Pop and Swiss acts like Krokus and the Swiss punk scene. Bruno Stettler was a witness and documentarist of a time of musical awakening, when the distance from stage to audience was only a few meters. Today the stars are shielded, barricaded in their backstage zones and hotel rooms. Flash photography was often difficult, so highly sensitive 400 ASA films were essential. He pushed them up to 800-1000 ASA. Photo retouching, as it is so easy to do on screen with a few mouse clicks today, did not exist for the amateur. He worked with negatives, not with slides, because original photo prints in the format 9x13 could be produced economically and sold with a mail-order business. The imperfections of the time translate into authenticity today. After a good four decades of slumber, the negatives were gradually digitized. Many pictures received a real retro vintage effect through storage. Some negatives were even attacked by mould. The scratches and defects and the coarse grain were deliberately left in their original condition - they give the photos an authentic look that cannot be found in any Photoshop filter gallery. The result is a 400-pages thick photo-book that captures the spirit of a generation. first limited edition of 888 books 400 pages 23 cm x 31 cm hardcover with dust-jacket german/english Sturm & Drang publishers 2019 --------------------------------------------------------- The photographs are in a traditional and classic setting made of noble passe-partouts and custom-made wooden photo frame; • signature of Bruno Stettler, Limited Edition of 6 • Frame, Hamburg, profile 20 mm (brown alder) • Passe-partout, Natural white • Paper, ultraHD photo print on Fuji Crystal DP Maxima • White Edge, Without white border • Glass, Floatglas matt • Hanging your frame is very easy.
