Synopsis
A person’s hair may be likened to the top of a mountain. But while mountaintops are often shrouded from our eyes by clouds around them, a person’s top is almost always visible―especially in latitudes that have given up the daily use of bonnets, hats and headscarves. Hence the understandably heavy pressure on people’s heads―to get the hair just right. Over the course of several decades, photographer Peter Gaechter shot a wide array of hairdos for Zürich hairdresser Elsässer Pour Dames, tracking the changes in―and revivals of ―hairstyles in late 20th-century Switzerland. The present publication brings together a selection of his photographs from the catalogues on display at these upmarket salons, showing the latest hairstyle trends from the 1970s to the 1990s. These sculpturesque cuts and coiffures, which were to be reproduced à l’identique on the customers’ heads, were also telltale signs of the times. Whether a punk or “Cold War Kids” cut, a “five-finger” blow-dry, feathery “Charlie’s Angels” wings or “Old Hollywood” coiffure―the multifarious hairstyles of local beauties, “It girls” and actresses featured in this book reflect the “why not?” whateverism of liberal consumer culture as well as concrete changes in society, e. g. in the sudden apparition of a clunky cell phone included in the picture frame as a pixie cut accessory. Gaechter’s photographs also hark back to an age in which photography was still infused with a spirit of professionalism. There are no snapshots here, no affectations of an amateur aesthetic, no strategically trashy elements―Gaechter's pictures target a clientele aspiring to distinction, as could once be said of the photographer’s craft as well.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Die Frisur ist dem Menschen, was dem Berg der Gipfel ist. Während sich Letzterer den Blicken oft vornehm im Wolkengewimmel entzieht, sind die Gipfel der Menschen fast immer sichtbar - gerade in jenen Breitengraden, die dem dauerhaften Einsatz von Haube, Hut und Kopftuch entsagt haben. Der Gestaltungsdruck, der auf der Menschen Häupter lastet, ist verständlicherweise immens. Ein Konvolut von Aufnahmen des Fotografen Peter Gaechter, die dieser für den Zürcher Coiffeur Elsässer Pour Dames anfertigte, zeugt von Wandel und Revivals der Haargestaltung in der Schweiz. Beginnend in den 1970er-Jahren, endend in den 90ern, versammelt die vorliegende Publikation Fotografien aus den sogenannten Zeigebüchern, die im Salon des Edelcoiffeurs auflagen und jeweils aktuelle Frisurentrends repräsentierten. Zu sehen sind aber nicht nur skulptural anmutende Schopfgebilde, die möglichst identisch auf den Köpfen der Kundinnen nachmodelliert werden sollten, sondern auch Indikatoren des Zeitgeists. Ob 'Cold War Kids', 'Punk', 'Fünf-Finger-Föhn-Frisur', '70er-Charlies-Angels-Fransen' oder 'Old Hollywood' - in den mannigfaltigen Frisuren der abgebildeten lokalen Schönheiten, It-Girls und Schauspielerinnen manifestiert sich sowohl die Why-not -Beliebigkeit der liberalen Konsumkulturen als auch konkreter gesellschaftlicher Wandel, etwa in Gestalt eines unvermittelt ins Bild rückenden, klobigen Mobiltelefons als Accessoire zum Pixie Cut. Nicht zuletzt zeugen Gaechters Fotografien von einer Ära, in der das Gewerbe der Fotografie noch vom Geist des Professionalismus geprägt war. Keine Schnappschüsse, keine gesuchte Amateur-Ästhetik, kein strategischer Trash - Gaechters Bilder richten sich an eine Kundschaft, die nach Distinktion strebte, wie sie einst auch die Fotografie für sich beanspruchen konnte.
