Alfons Rohrer (1925-1998) was the owner of the "Bahnhof" inn in Sachseln, a classic Swiss village tavern. He was also a talented and tireless photographer, leaving behind around 14,000 slides. Rohrer’s aim was not to create artistic images, but to capture impressions, moments, and situations, preserving the ephemeral for eternity. The photographs reflect his enthusiasm for the subjects, his joy in the encounters and events he experienced. The poses shown come from a different, pre-digital era, when being photographed was still considered an honor. The images collected in this book, documents from more than five decades of village life, evoke an immediate sense of nostalgia in the viewer and invite reflection on personal history and memories.
