The first comprehensive survey of Andri Pol’s multifaceted oeuvre of nearly four decades.

Andri Pol’s unmistakable style and ability to capture complex themes with precision have made him one of the most distinguished voices in international contemporary documentary photography. His portraits appear spontaneous yet carefully composed. His reportages offer surprising perspectives on social, cultural, and political realities and identities. With his pictures and photo columns, Pol has contributed to the visual language of major Swiss and German magazines and newspapers.

Pol shoots his reportages, portraits, and observations of everyday life around the globe, with recurring geographical focuses in Switzerland, Japan, and China. Andri Pol: Photographs spans his entire career and includes current long-term projects and books he has published. Some 1,600 color plates are supplemented with a contextual essay by historian and author Valentin Groebner.

Published in conjunction with a major exhibition at the Fotostiftung Schweiz in Winterthur, Andri Pol: Photographs is a visually astute, highly original invitation to marvel, smile, and discover.
