"Jakob Tuggener’s key photographic motifs were conditions in the factory, simple life in the countryside and the glamour of high society. At the same time Tuggener was fascinated by railroads, ports, ships, car races and airshows. Through photography he sought to capture all facets of modern life in a world between dark factories and glittering ballrooms. From the mid-1930s Tuggener made book maquettes of all these subjects, each crafted ..."

"Christian Vogt is one of Switzerland's most important contemporary artists. For nearly fifty years, he has engaged in a complex dialogue with his central medium of expression--photography--rendering a new image language that puts him ahead of his time.

"This book presents the many facets of Swiss photographer Balthasar Burkhard (1944–2010). Burkhard’s work combines a sensitive understanding of the body as sculpture and the photographic image as a canvas, making him one of the pioneers in translating photography as a monumental “tableau” into contemporary art. This comprehensive book coalesces Burkhard’s early role as a chronicler of the contemporary art of his time, especially as the m ..."
"To Jakob Tuggener (1904-88) the dazzling nights of the balls in the St. Moritz Palace Hotel were among the most beautiful and fascinating events that life could offer. He submerged himself with his Leica in this world of luxury with even more enthusiasm than he had in the factory world that inspired his famous book Fabrik (1943). Usually unnoticed by the illustrious guests, he captured fleeting moments and details, facial expressions an ..."
"Since the late 1960s Christian Vogt has produced a photographic oeuvre impressive for its creative inventiveness and its unexpected twists. He is a master of the art of photographic haikus, and a virtuoso of associative story telling with pictures. To Vogt, photography is never a mere reproduction but always a speculation about the meaning or the story hidden behind the surface, a reflection on the subjectivity of the photographic eye, ..."

"Among those Swiss photographers who came to the fore in the 1990s, Jean-Pascal Imsand was always something of a loner--both professionally and in his life. Born in Lausanne, he lived and worked mainly in Zurich and on the Lake of Geneva. Imsand’s journeys abroad were few; the world in which he moved with ease was one of local neighbourhoods. He travelled to Istanbul, Venice, Paris, and New York for purposes of private research and commi ..."
