Nicolas Faure has been working on the theme of Swiss landscape since the 1990s, concentrating on the blend between the Traditional and the Modern. The motorway is the meeting point of technology, architecture and a certain concept of Nature, and through his photos, Faure elicits aspects that characterise Switzerland.
Nicolas Faure's "The Order of Things" features around 100 analog photographs of garden architecture in single-family homes and settlements in Valais and Western Switzerland. The images reflect a longing for privacy and idyllic spaces, showcasing plant architectures that interact with their built environment, prompting reflections on modern cultural changes in Switzerland.
A Meyrin on trouve le coeur du monde. Des diplomates et des réfugiés. Des gens du sud et d'autres du nord. Des ouvriers et des intellectuels. De la fondue et du blakhlawa. Des natifs et des immigrants. On y trouve même un parlemenbt des jeunes. Une mosaïque. Il fallait aller à la rencontre de ce monde-là. Derrière chaque porte il y a une histoire .... André Klopmann
