On light, movement and urban wilderness in Switzerland and South Africa


Infrared Wilderness explores the biodiversity of urban ecosystems in Switzerland and South Africa. The images capture in a unique way the insects and plants with which we come into contact on a daily basis. The project uses an experimental technique of analog infrared photography in colour, obtained by reworking the processes of shooting and developing black & white infrared film.
