A documentary photographic exploration of Oerlikon’s local commerce, small shops, workshops, everyday spaces, and the people who shape them. Oerlikon as a living fabric of trade, labour, memory, and community.
Shot entirely on 35mm film, the project looks at the district through its visible routines, surfaces, gestures, storefronts, and encounters. It traces a neighbourhood in transition, but also one defined by continuity: by independent businesses, personal histories, working hands, and the quiet presence of everyday life.SEMESTER PROJECT ZHDK Photographer NICOLAS LEHNI Mentoring HANSRUEDI ROHRER Location ZURICH Date 2022
