Born in Menziken (Switzerland) in 1970 and living in Beinwil am See, the Zurich-based architect Ralph Blättler is a "quiet observer", as Gabriela Mazza writes in her essay accompanying this photographic volume. His atmospheric images unfold like cinematic still lifes. He captures architecture and landscape in a way that reveals both their "quiet beauty" and the "poetry of the incidental". The present publication brings together a seemingly random sequence of apparently casual architectural and landscape photographs taken in Switzerland, France and Italy. All of them share Blättler’s unfailing eye for the perfect frame, one that captures the mood of a place more eloquently than words, as Max Küng notes in his contribution.
