Soon after I came to Switzerland, I was puzzled by the idea of a country hemmed in by Europe, without any direct access to the sea. I wanted to collect in a catalogue landscapes evoking a sense of isolation. So I left to photograph places located along the border.
However, it became soon evident that there was a discrepancy between what I initially imagined and my actual experience.
During this journey, I saw only other horizons.
