This is an ongoing project about the district 6 in Zürich, Switzerland.

It is the neighborhood where I grew up and where I still live today. It is a quiet, family-friendly area where I know almost everyone, and I would definitely say it is where i feel at home. It is located below the Zürichberg. I am quickly in the city, but also in the Irchelpark and the forest within three minutes, which is very important for me to relax.

Why not document the place where you are every day? You go shopping, to the doctor, to church, or just for a walk. I feel that many photographers travel very far to capture something. There is nothing wrong with that—I also love traveling to new countries to photograph.

I used to think that photographing here would be boring and that nothing was happening. But now I see it as a challenge and a way to grow as a photographer: to document what you know very well and what feels “normal.” I think it is more challenging to find a good image here than, for example, in India, where everything feels special to us Europeans.

This is my home project.
