The exhibition spans 55 years of creation, from the artist&#8217;s very first self-portrait in the midst of an existential crisis in Ibiza in 1969, to his more recent reflections on the constant movement of self-effacement, via the sensual and ironic multiplicity of <em>The Numbergirl Seen Through the Pink Glasses of Desire<\/em>, his legendary series from 1973.<br>By playing on the ambiguities of emotions, the body and the image, the artist highlights the complexity of what we, or society, consider to be \u2018true\u2019. He states categorically: \u2018I don&#8217;t believe in objectivity at all; the only filter between the world and me is my personal truth\u2026\u2019<br>Far from a static, autobiographical self-portrait, L\u00fcthi declares that everything is ephemeral and destined to disappear. He encourages the public to find a form of solace in a world riddled with discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"189\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Capture-decran-2025-10-07-164849-1-1024x189.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8370\" style=\"width:505px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Capture-decran-2025-10-07-164849-1-1024x189.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Capture-decran-2025-10-07-164849-1-300x55.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Capture-decran-2025-10-07-164849-1-1536x284.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Capture-decran-2025-10-07-164849-1-2048x379.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Capture-decran-2025-10-07-164849-1.png 416w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8926,"template":"","class_list":["post-8328","exposition","type-exposition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>URS L\u00dcTHI - MBAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/en\/expo\/urs-luthi\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"URS L\u00dcTHI - MBAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"L&#8217;UNE OU L&#8217;AUTRE VERIT\u00c9 With L&#8217;une ou l&#8217;autre v\u00e9rit\u00e9, Urs L\u00fcthi weaves a visual narrative around his legendary series and invites the public to let themselves be carried away by the intimate and universal contradiction of human emotions.
