Photobastei 2.0

Photobastei 2.0 in Zurich opens on a puzzle facing founder Romano Zerbini in the winter of 2020, an institution spending close to a million Swiss francs a year and a crowdfunder that raised only a fraction of that. The guide traces the space back to its first incarnation in 2014 inside Zurich's first skyscraper, its 2015 move into former art-school classrooms, and the running-meter rent logic that nearly closed it. Stand on the ground floor bar and you're on the same footing the whole gamble was measured by.
