This sector presents photographic positions that move beyond conventional photography through mixed media, special printing techniques and shifts from two-dimensional to three-dimensional presentation.

The novum sector is dedicated to works that have never been shown before, including pieces created specifically for photo basel and bodies of work that have only recently been discovered or rediscovered.

Curated by the Swiss magazine annabelle, this selection highlights female photographers from Switzerland and abroad and foregrounds the diversity, strength and visibility of women's photographic practices.
