Shirana Shahbazi's Largest Zurich Artwork Wraps Grossmünster in Scaffolding
Photographer Shirana Shahbazi has created the largest artwork in Zurich by covering the Grossmünster, the city's most famous church, with a scaffold-based installation. The project, which will remain in place for two years, transforms the church's exterior into a monumental photographic work. The imagery includes depictions of local residents underwater, reflecting Shahbazi's exploration of movement and illusion. The work is part of a temporary transformation of the church's appearance, and it is expected to be a significant cultural landmark during its display period.
