message salon presents “Perla-Mode-Gala-Album”, a brand new fanzine by Esther Eppstein.
Since the opening of Perla-Mode in September 2006, Esther Eppstein has photographed vernissages, exhibitions, parties, artists and guests with her Leica Minilux compact camera, continuously selecting and sorting the developed images into an album. A growing number of the photo albums were available for viewing in the message salon. By the time message salon closed in January 2014, 58 albums had been created, each containing 100 photographs.
The zine “Perla-Mode-Gala-Album”, with a selection of pictures from the photo albums, is a limited edition document of the time at Perla-Mode on Langstrasse. Come and have a look! Perla-Mode won’t be around for much longer, the demolition of the building has definitely been decided for spring 2015.
