Alpentraum

More about the book

"This volume of photographs takes a poetically critical look at a landscape that enjoys a repeatedly redefined mystique - as a place of danger, a source of enchantment, a bastion of authenticity and freedom. The Alps still form the backbone of Switzerland's identity. Mountains, cows and everlasting snow - a nightmare ("Alptraum") for some and a delightful dream for others. The Alps in 21st century Switzerland: a protective wall or a north-south corridor, a region for tourism or traffic congestion, a natural paradise or an energy producer?"--Publisher
