United at a distance

Photography Tanya Mezzera and Urs Unternährer from the Lucerne agency Velvet took a photo every day on their journey from Mumbai via Cairo, Damascus to Tehran - 170 in total - of a predetermined concept such as bread, happiness, supermarket or sunrise and moon. Their friends who stayed at home did the same. These almost simultaneous, yet distant photographs have now been brought together as an "everyday juxtaposition". With the realization that the same terms have completely different meanings in different places and in different life situations. The book "Daily Picture - Ein Tag zwei Bilder" has been published by Velvet-Edition Lucerne. Velvet, which has been a household name in design and communication circles both locally and nationally for a good ten years, has been publishing books and magazines as a supplement to client projects and as a cultural ideology in its own publishing house since 2002.
