In January 2002 Switzerlands best known magazine FOLIO, a monthly supplement to the national daily Neue Zurcher Zeitung NZZ ask me for serie of photographs for the march issue SCHWEIZ 02. It is be out the day after switzerland's majority presumably votes for joining the United Nations UN. Finally, after a several hopeless efforts we would proof the rest of the world we are no longer a stuborn singularity. I was simply told, go travel different areas of the country, forget the alps, some mountains we'll take from your earlier serie of mountain slopes. So I had five days to fill this carte blanche with images of a switzerland in transition. I started with the Pizza Express next door in Zurich.
