Swiss Photographer Andreas Seibert Releases New Book Reflecting on Pandemic Loss
Zurich, Switzerland – Photographer Andreas Seibert has released “About See about Life,” a photographic document exploring themes of loss, memory, and the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The book, published in both German and English, is available for purchase in bookstores and directly from the author.
Born in wettingen in 1970, andreas seibert’s artistic journey began with studies in german studies and beliefs at the University of Zurich, followed by photography at the University of the Arts in Zurich.He spent a significant period, from 1997 to 2013, living and working in Tokyo and throughout Asia, with a particular focus on China. This experience profoundly shaped his aesthetic, imbuing his work with influences from Japanese photography.
Seibert’s photography is characterized by its combination of social documentation, critical analysis, and visual poetry. He aims to provoke thought about the consequences of human actions, often addressing complex social, ecological, and economic challenges. His work has been featured in numerous international magazines and exhibited globally.
“If I think back to the corona pandemic today, I don’t have the feeling that we have recognized the ones we have lost. I have the feeling that we were in a hurry to leave this time behind, which in retrospect appears like a heavy, dark dream. Fortunately, most of us woke up from this.For those who have not recovered from a SARS-COV-2 infection,” Seibert stated.
“About See about Life” is a substantial work,comprising 440 pages and 95 photographs,presented in a hardcover format (280 × 238 mm,2300g). The book includes contributions from Prof. Milo Puhan, Prof. Kaspar Staub, Young Emerg, and Cristina Amrein, and receives support from the e. V. Bridging Science and Society association. It is priced at CHF 48.00 / EUR 48.00 (ISBN 978-3-033-11102-8).
