The book presents a comprehensive retrospective on Swiss photographer Jakob Tuggener, highlighting his work from the 1930s to the 1950s. Known for his poetic style, Tuggener captures the industrial world and its intersection with human life, influenced by German expressionist cinema. The catalogue accompanies the exhibition "Jakob Tuggener: Fabrik, une épopée industrielle" at Montpellier's Pavillon Populaire, featuring 130 photographs from the Jakob Tuggener collection at the Swiss Foundation for Photography. Notably, it is the first French publication solely dedicated to Tuggener's work, offering unique insights into his portrayal of man amidst machines.
