About this title

Synopsis

A lush photographic portrait of the gardens comprising Switzerland’s vast suburban landscape

This volume presents around 100 analog photographs of private gardens across the Romandy and Valais regions of Switzerland, taken by Swiss photographer Nicolas Faure (born 1949). His images of these painstakingly composed suburban landscapes epitomize the Swiss mentality, which favors order and visual hierarchy.
