After the tsunami, he discovered cremation

Emanuel Freudiger

Photos of various crematoria in Switzerland to illustrate a review of a book by Ivo Zemp, "The Architecture of Cremation - A Cultural History of Swiss Crematoria." Published by Hier+Jetzt. It seems a bit odd not to illustrate a book review with photos from the same book, but I think they turned out to be beautiful images, each with its own morbid character. Taken on January 17, 2013, in Winterthur, Basel-Riehen, and Aarau.
