Background information, content
"For the Swiss photographer Jakob TUGGENER (1904-1988), the dazzling nights of the balls at the St. Moritz Palace Hotel were among the most beautiful and fascinating events that life had to offer. He immersed himself in this world of luxury with his Leica with even more enthusiasm than in the factory world that had inspired him to write his famous book 'Fabrik' (1943). Mostly unnoticed by the illustrious guests, he captured fleeting moments and details, facial expressions and gestures, which he condensed into cinematographically perceived image series and book layouts.Additional information
