Description
The Swiss, whether living in cities or in the countryside, have always practised and cultivated their very own local customs. This provides the country with an enormous wealth of communal religious and secular occasions and lively traditions. In many villages, districts, and regions, these are essential parts of the cultural heritage that are integrated into everyday life and passed on, whether similar to 100 years ago or adapted to the present.
The photos and texts in Dancing Pines do more than convey a perfect, often well-established image from tourism brochures. Instead, they reflect the unique atmosphere that the authors and photographer have experienced at each location.
Through conversations with the participants, light is shed on what they do, what it is really about, and what it means for the individual person. It is a collection of beautiful trouvailles and stories of people who cultivate their customs and traditions with a lot of heart and soul.
