Conceptual photo series for the special edition of the Aargauer Zeitung on the Mittelland. Seven hundred years ago, the region between Bern, Basel, and Zurich was still a fragmented area, characterized by diverse interests. Today, it has grown together into a single settlement area. A single city. The largest in Switzerland. All images were taken between August 14 and 19, 2011, in the cantons of Aargau, Solothurn, Basel-Landschaft, and Zurich. I used a Yashicamat 124-G twin-lens reflex camera as the recording medium, and Kodak Ektachrome E100VS film, which was cross-developed and then scanned.
