ODERMATT, Arnold - After Work / Aprés le boulot

Background information

Swiss photographer, Arnold ODERMATT, who sadly has passed by in June, thus developed an unconventional artistic fingerprint, which served him well during his working days as well as after hours. Whenever 'off duty', Arnold ODERMATT often volunteered to take pictures throughout Nidwalden. He photographed his motifs usually only once, developed prints on demand and then archived them in his attic―all was preserved but ignored. Luckily, the photographer’s son has rescued these treasures and ensured their publication. Let’s call it a day is the fourth volume in a series of books that brings into focus this extraordinary work." (© Steidl Verlag, 2016)
