Fascination

Back in Switzerland, Maximilian Bruggmann had one idea only: to gain some insight into the secrets and mysteries of his first Africa experience. While working as a graphic artist and photographer in Lausanne, he got ready for his second trip to visit the Tuareg in Tassili n´Ajjer. For one year he would film, photograph, learn, discover and devote himself to his passion.

The Sahara took him captive. The Sahara cast a spell on him. It was the beginning of a long love story that saw much travelling. In 1964, he was assigned as official photographer for the national exhibition in Lausanne. This was, however, only an intermission between his trips to the Sahara.
