From 2016-2019, the Swiss artist/researcher Catherine Gfeller travelled several times to different cities in China, where she met quite a lot of women with various background. She spent days or nights talking with them, taking their photos and videos, getting to know their working environment or favourite places for entertainment, etc., in order to understand their personal point of view when they are immersed in the city with all their senses. An exhibition with all those materials will be open to the public at the Embassy of Switzerland in Beijing, China.

Swiss documentarian Jacqueline Zünd frequents the distant but intimate lives of people from around the world – the insomniacs, the aged and the children – embracing their delights and disappointments, regrets and hopes, and other contrasting sensations. As these people wander along their paths of ritual, befittingly or unfittingly, they understand life anew with wisdom, dignity and vitality. Zünd has been a critically acclaimed multi-award winning filmmaker since her debut. Her works have participated in prominent festivals including the Berlin (Germany), Locarno (Switzerland), Moscow (Russia) International Film Festivals, Visions du Réel (Nyon, Switzerland) and DOK Leipzig (Germany) amongst others.
