This comprehensive monograph delves into the life and work of Swiss photographer, filmmaker, and painter Jakob Tuggener (1904-1988), capturing key themes like factory work, rural life, and high society events, particularly the New Year's Eve balls at the Palace Hotel in St. Moritz. The book explores Tuggener’s vast, previously untouched archive, including thousands of prints, over 20 silent films, and numerous drawings, watercolors, and oil paintings. Featuring essays by Martin Gasser and Jakob Tuggener, with an introduction by Guido Magnaguagno, it provides insight into his visual and mental world, enhancing 20th-century photography studies.
