Catalogue of the exhibition by Swiss artist Jean Odermatt, at the Galleria Gottardo in Lugano. This is not the usual classical collection of photographs, but rather a succession of interacting ideas that revolve around this Swiss artistıs life project. They lead us to the physical point called La Claustra, a foundation created at the very heart of the Saint Gotthard massive. La Claustra is located in the bunkers built by the Swiss Confederation during the first half of last century. Today these underground passages, these damp and cold spaces, have risen, thanks to the great work of the artist, to be at the centre of discussion, debate, meeting and reflection, among all those who are interested in the development of our contemporary world.
CAMERA gives us a photographic interpretation of the Earth, portraying it as a living organism in its dynamic changeability through time, atmospheric conditions and light.
