Hans Danuser



The Swiss photographer and artist Hans Danuser was commissioned by Peter Zumthor to photograph his work for its first publication in 1988. Zumthor was apparently inspired to commission Danuser by the IN VIVO project (one photograph from IN VIVO is above). Danuser photographed Zumthor's buildings in the fog, gave equal weight to the surrounding landscape and showed partial images, beginning to capture atmosphere. Its worth having a look through the way Danuser captures atmosphere in his other work: Hans Danuser's web site. A book of his photographs of Zumthor's work was published in 2009, 'Seeing Zumthor'.
