On the web site of Swissinfo from the 2nd of February 2019, you can look at a selection of pictures from my book Homo Helveticus.
Didier Ruef has been documenting life in Switzerland for more than 30 years. His book contains a carefully compiled selection of photos of Switzerland and the people who call it home. The Swiss historian Thomas Maissen writes in the foreword to the book: “There is nothing that does not exist in Switzerland.” Perhaps, someone should add to this: and, nothing that the photographer has not captured by his camera in the last 30 years.

An interview by Monica Bonetti on Laser (RSI Rete Due) on January 15th, 2019 about my new book Homo Helveticus.
Ginevrino di nascita e ticinese d’adozione Didier Ruef è un fotografo di reportage che nell’immagine cerca soprattutto la storia che vi sta dietro. Ne è l’ennesima conferma anche il suo ultimo libro “Homo Helveticus” uscito a dicembre presso l’editore bernese Till Schaap Edition. Didier Ruef vi ha raccolto 170 immagini in bianco e nero catturate nei quattro angoli della Svizzera nell’arco di trent’anni. Molti di quegli scatti sono stati realizzati durante feste tradizionali e quella che ne emerge è una Svizzera di cui risaltano tutte le diversità culturali e le contraddizioni ma anche la tensione verso il cambiamento e la modernità.Il libro diventa allora un altro dei tanti viaggi di Didier Ruef, questa volta alla ricerca della sua identità. Un viaggio e una ricerca che non sono privi di uno sguardo acutamente ironico e che il fotografo ci racconta in questo “Laser”.
