For many years, photographer Marco Volken has dedicated himself to these unassuming structures, which he calls "Quiet Places." Through meticulous work, he locates them and captures them with his camera, time and again, across all seasons. This has resulted in a series of images that are as documentary as they are laconic and poetic. They are pictures that evoke smiles, but also wonder. With this photo book, Marco Volken takes us into the slightly quirky world of Swiss public restrooms, showcasing their diversity, their sometimes professional and sober, sometimes improvised or imaginative construction styles – but also their scenic settings, as they often stand in places of breathtakingly tranquil beauty.
