From the press: The picturesque landscape of East Switzerland is home to a diminishing number of Hänggiturme and Tröckneturme: peculiar yet monumental wooden towers once used for drying dyed textiles. These structures are remnants from the 19th century, when the region was a booming global centre of textile production. Once herself a textile designer in St. Gallen, Stéphanie Baechler decided to uncover the histories of these towers and the work they housed, as well as to re-invigorate their present through an artistic intervention. 'Forget-Me-Not' catalogues a series of photographs of the remaining towers taken by Ladina Bischof in the form of an atlas, photographs that become the surface onto which Baechler’s research unfolds visually.
