Based on the federal popular initiative 'Against Mass Immigration', the photo book 'How to secure a Country' by migrant Salvatore VITALE explores where the Swiss need for security originates from and how it became an essential part of their culture.

Photo volume 'Été' by Olaf UNVEZART and Sebastian SCHELS shows ski resorts in the French and Italian Western Alps. The atmosphere of the tourist architecture and infrastructure in the snowless and deserted places is strangely melancholic and enraptured.

For this photo volume 'ALP' Olaf UNVERZART documented the Alps from today's perspective: dwindling glaciers, machines smashed by avalanches, concrete castles hewn into the rock, defying nature. His photographs document the traces left behind by man.

The volume 'Fabrik' by Jakob TUGGENER conveys a critical view of the destructive potential of unchecked technological progress at a time when the arms industry was producing weapons for war. The uncompromisingly subjective photography underlines his view.

The volume 'Die 4 Jahreszeiten' (The 4 Seasons) by Swiss photographerJakob TUGGENER is a completely new version of the unique books he created in the 1940s on the themes of spring, summer, fall and winter. It is a reflection on human life and transience.

This 13-volumes collection on the work of Swiss photographer Jakob TUGGENER, 'Books and Films' contains facsimile editions of the first twelve original book dummies from the years 1936 to 1982 as well as a selection of his 16 mm short films on DVD.

For out-of-print book 'Ball nights 1934-1950', Jakob TUGGENER immersed himself in the world of luxury. He captured fleeting moments & details, facial expressions & gestures, which he condensed into cinematographically perceived image series & book layouts
