Teju Cole ā Fernweh
OUT OF PRINT ā LAST AVAILABLE COPY
The picturesque vistas and apparent stability of Switzerland have made it an elusive subject for contemporary photography. Over a five-year period (2014 ā 2019),Ā Teju ColeĀ found a distinctly new way to look at a country that has been the quintessence of tourist experience for almost two centuries.Ā FernwehĀ muses on the German word for a longing to be elsewhere. Coleās meditative and scrupulously composed work, made with colour film, is evocative of the hidden history of the Alpine nation as well as of its highly curated terrain. Returning to Switzerland year after year, Cole shares the patience and mild palette of luminaries of contemporary European photography ā but the constructivist tension in these images is all his own. With photographs shot in every corner of the country ā from Vaud to GraubuĢnden to Lugano āĀ FernwehĀ creates a vision of Switzerland that, though largely devoid of human presence, is rich in human traces; none more so than Coleās own distinct way of seeing.
21 x 30.5 cm, hardcover, MACK (London).
