1990 reiste der im Bündner Bergdorf Vrin aufgewachsene und zum Primarlehrer ausgebildete Verner Soler nach Los Angeles. Aus geplanten sechs Monaten Aufenthalt wurden mehr als 30 Jahre. Soler studierte in Kalifornien Fotografie und Werbegestaltung, gründete eine Familie und wurde Creative Director bei Saatchi & Saatchi, wo er Kampagnen für Weltmarken wie Toyota verantwortet. Trotzdem zieht es ihn regelmässig zurück in das Dorf seiner Kindheit und Jugend, wo seine Familie bis heute lebt. Seine Kamera hat der Fotograf dabei immer mit im Gepäck, um Szenen einer Heimat und Lebensweise festzuhalten.
Dieser Bildband zeigt Solers Auseinandersetzung mit den Emotionen eines Emigranten, der wie im Zeitraffer mit den stetigen Veränderungen des Heimatdorfs und seiner Bewohner konfrontiert ist. Seine authentischen, starken Bilder einer ungeschminkten Realität verströmen eine berührend ehrliche Grundhaltung. Zugleich sind sie voller Sinnhaftigkeit und Sehnsucht. Zusammen mit ausführlichen erzählerischen Bildlegenden lässt der Fotograf uns an einem Kraftort teilhaben.

Hardback. Zustand: New. In 1990, Verner Soler, born in the Swiss village of Vrin, in the Canton of Grisons, and educated as a primary school teacher, travelled to Los Angeles. His intended six-month stay turned into 30 years and counting. He studied photography and creative advertising in California, married and raised a child, and became a Creative Director with Saatchi and Saatchi in Los Angeles, where he leads campaigns for major global brands such as Toyota. His native alpine village of 250 inhabitants could not be more different from the metropolis of 3.8 million that has become his new home. Against the odds, Soler has tried for more than three decades to maintain a connection to the place and the people he left behind.Vrin: Home Through an Emigrant's Lens presents Soler's intimate exploration of an emigrant's emotions when confronted with the accelerated changes in the village and its people, which he experiences as if captured in a time-lapse. His authentic, powerful images of an unvarnished reality exude a touchingly honest and uninhibited attitude. At the same time, they are full of meaning and longing. Combined with long narrative captions, they invite viewers to experience this place of power for themselves.Text in English, German and Romansh. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LU-9783039422012
