Documenting the heart of Switzerland, Lüdi’s portraits of smoking children provoke reflection on local customs, tradition and modernity
As the most beautiful cows are paraded through the Appenzell villages, children puff on Krumme cigars—a gesture of acknowledgment from the elders for the youth who take on farm labor from an early age. With Smoke, artist Kris Lüdi (born 1987) approaches this custom from a place of personal memory.
