Corona-Pandemic in Canton Zug

With the lockdown due to the corona virus, a scenario occurred this spring that I could not even have imagined in my dreams. Life has literally changed completely from one day to the next. This change was extreme. The streets were almost empty, and at first I only ventured into the village when I had something urgent to do. But as a photographer, the new situation was both exciting and challenging for me. I began to capture the effects of the invisible danger in my pictures. In addition, the Canton of Zug commissioned me to document the pandemic in Canton Zug. This also gave me access to various institutions such as the rescue service or the extraordinary meeting of the cantonal council in the triple gymnasium of the cantonal school.
