A9 Untertags

The “A9 Untertags” project would create a somewhat different documentary. It focuses exclusively on the unfinished construction of the A9 motorway. The goal of this construction project of the century is to connect the Lower and Upper Valais, but the exact construction time is still uncertain.  

In the photographic work, the underground construction phase is accompanied over a longer period of time. The focus is on the lighting atmosphere in the motorway tubes. It reflects a surreal and alien lighting atmosphere that we would not put together in this context. This makes it possible for outsiders to access this unusual intermediate state. 

As soon as the first cars roll over the motorway, this own lighting mood escapes and the monotonous lighting mood becomes present as we know it.
