"For a long time, with patience, empathy and mastery, Christoph PFLÜGER portrayed residents (people with disabilities) from the Waldheim Foundation with the camera.
These recordings - you can almost feel it while looking at it - are not the result of a session, but the result of years of observation, empathy and participation. That's what makes her so touching.
Christoph PFLÜGER came close to these people. The competent and sensitive part of the text is provided by historian Lynn Blattmann, who holds a doctorate in law and other participants.
You could see the band as a result of a coincidence. A combination of several lucky coincidences without which he could not have come. The book also tells about it.
The Waldheim Foundation is the largest provider of residential accommodation in Eastern Switzerland. Since 1943 she has been serving the needs of people with moderate to severe mental and sometimes physical disabilities." (free translated publisher's note, original text: @ Benteli, 2009)
