SESSION is the result of an immersive lab project in Bern/Switzerland. The four MAGNUM PHOTOS photographers Cristina de Middel (Brazil), Newsha Tavakolian (Iran), Alex Majoli (Italy) and ALEX WEBB (USA) spent two weeks at the Bundeshaus (Federal Palace) in Bern during the regular political "session". They documented the political daily business in their own personal visual language and thus created an imaginative tapestry on Swiss democracy from an outsider's perspective.
The project is part of a multimedia project (including exhibition and a documentary) that celebrates the 175th anniversary of the Swiss Constitution 2023.
It contains two essays by authors Roberta Fischli and Tom Kummer.
In German/English (essays translated into Italian and French).
