These images, sometimes almost unbearable to look at, sometimes characterized by grace, tell of a world far removed from clichés. They form a gripping kaleidoscope of current events in the Swiss and international media, as the museum explains.
The 2025 edition of World Press Photo shows around 160 images from all continents. Samar Abu Elouf, a self-taught photographer from Gaza, which she left in 2023, wins the award for Photo of the Year with her portrait of a nine-year-old boy who lost his arms in an Israeli attack.
Swiss Press Photo brings together 150 photographs published in the Swiss media in 2024. Anne Morgenstern, the Swiss photographer of the year, won in the "Current Affairs" category with a moving series about the "Swifties", the fans of singer Taylor Swift.
Other winners include Marie-Lou Dumauthioz, who accompanied shooting competitions that have become popular festivals in many villages, and Sébastien Anex, who depicts how the return of the sun is celebrated in February in Lütschental in the Bernese Oberland, which has to make do without sunshine for four months of the year.
Other photographers, such as Jonathan Labusch, followed Nemo on tour after winning the Eurovision Song Contest, for example, or captured night-time images of farmers' gatherings in the Bernese Oberland like Alessandro della Valle from Keystone-SDA.
