Projektbeschrieb

For several years now, the photographer has been carrying out an important photographic work in the CHUV neonatology department in Lausanne.
Through this documentary work, he invites the public to discover a space apart in the heart of the city in which newborns in distress are fighting, every moment, for life.
His images contrast the strength of the emotions that parents, families with children in intensive care hospitals experience with the technological excellence of a world-leading service in the field.
