The Gardens and Natural Springs

Art Book

Over the course of four years, Villa Sonnen­berg was slowly awakened from its slumber and extens­ively renov­ated. Photo­grapher and artist Anja Karo­lina Furrer went in search of impres­sions with her camera long before excav­ators and cranes domin­ated the site. The result is a book full of visual poetry that includes a contri­bu­tion by Chris­toph Moser on the history of the resid­ents of Sonnen­berg.
