OverviewAn alternative to Siwss postcard idyll: How the country is perceived today Switzerland's image has been significantly shaped by photographs dedicated to tourism. Through spectacular mountain panoramas, snapshots of rural idylls, or portraits of local people, the country could be successfully marketed, and these photographs also made an important contribution to- ward national identity. Another consequence, however, was that the respective pictorial repertoire became inflated and stereotyped. For this publication and for an exhibition of the same name opening in 2017, five internationally renowned photographers were invited to scrutinize Switzerland in their capacity as independent, subjective, and sensitive observers-unrestricted by any advertising commission. What Alinka Echeverri a (Mexiko/UK), Shane Lavalette (USA), Eva Leitolf (Germany), Simon Roberts (UK), and Zhang Xiao (China) discovered on their travels around the country or along its borders is both inspiring and revealing. Their exciting, poetic, or mysterious-enigmatic im- ages invite viewers to see the familiar with the eyes of an outsider. ***6 booklets in a slipcase*** 200 illustrations Full Product DetailsAuthor: Peter Pfrunder , Lars Millumeit , Tatyana Franck , Fotostiftung SchweizPublisher: Lars Muller Publishers Imprint: Lars Muller Publishers Weight: 1.134kg ISBN: 9783037785102ISBN 10: 3037785101 Pages: 300 Publication Date: 01 March 2017 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Book Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
