Shootings photographic series is a work in progress going on since 2000. The Swiss author analyzes the different military systems ruling a nation that assumes its neutrality as a winning political strategy. However that’s just an appearing isolation, based on a hidden aggressiveness. Dense vegetation pushes everywhere, in and out of the frame, but represented as it is with a strong formal exactitude, reveal another more ambiguous nature. In the middle of those forests we can discover a lot of rifle ranges, used by the army to train regularly.
