Kris Lüdi: Smoke

Documenting the heart of Switzerland, L di's portraits of smoking children provoke reflection on local customs, tradition and modernity

As the most beautiful cows are paraded through the Appenzell villages, children puff on Krumme cigars--a gesture of acknowledgment from the elders for the youth who take on farm labor from an early age. With Smoke, artist Kris L di (born 1987) approaches this custom from a place of personal memory.
