Rail Magic

René Groebli (1927-2026)

Synopsis

Swiss photographer René Groebli's book presents 74 photographs that capture the essence of early subjective photography. Originally introduced as a fifteen-image series in 1949, this collection showcases Groebli's fascination with French steam locomotives and the romantic allure of rail travel, especially between Paris and Zürich. Despite initial criticism, Groebli revisited this passion in the 1990s, culminating in a dynamic visual document. Utilizing a Leica III F with a single lens or a twin-lens Rolleiflex, his cinematic experience greatly influences his style, reflecting his deep love for motion pictures and the cinematic arts.
