The work is based on a collection of 500 amateur film slides found by artist in a second-hand shop. Using it as a symbol of the bygone era, he combined dry documentation with new interpretations, offering a critical perspective to the viewer through the unpacking.

What initially appears to be a visual exploration of the postcard-perfect Switzerland, popularised by Cailler chocolate wrapping, turns out to be an investigation into the anthropogenic impact on the landscape caused by the construction of a new motorway. The artist recreates the inauguration of the motorway section on 23 December 1970 — a key event in the archive — using found objects and stamp-made graphics. The frame also includes huge ribbon-cutting scissors, which the artist created as a public art intervention on the construction grid at the former doctors’ home near Waldenburg railway station. The artist also emphasises two slides by scaling them up and transferring them into lightboxes. The first shows a construction site during rock blasting, while the second features a toy construction crane in the author’s living room. In the end, he presents two fragments of a map of the same area of Eptingen, taken 15 years apart — before and after the motorway construction.
