1991 journal

The idea for the journal developed in the Engadin Fextal. Over the course of a year, one picture was taken everyday. The MINOX was loaded with only one roll of film per month; only one exposure could be made per day. This reduced approach is a significant challenge for a professional photographer. One could even speak of it as a therapeutic process:

Buenos Aires, Rio, Rome, Paris, Prague, Moscow, Halle, Volketswil, Berlin, Zurich, London, Locarno, Geneva, Duala, Abidjan.
