Laichkraut, Trubesloh, 15.5.2003/2015

Simone Kappeler (b. 1952, Frauenfeld, Switzerland) is a Swiss photographer known for her poetic and experimental approach to image-making. Trained in both literature and photography, Kappeler blends documentary and dreamlike elements, often capturing the fleeting and the ephemeral with a distinct sensibility for light, color, and atmosphere. Her work spans decades and formats, from Polaroids to large-scale Cibachromes, offering a contemplative gaze into landscapes, interiors, and the overlooked moments of everyday life. She lives and works in Zurich.

There is a stillness to Laichkraut, Trubesloh, a silence that feels almost sacred. Simone Kappeler captures not just a scene, but a pause, an underwater breath held in light and shadow. Nothing moves, yet everything stirs: leaves hover, threads drift, the silt remembers.

This is a photograph that resists immediacy. It doesn’t unfold in a glance but lingers just beneath the surface. Kappeler invites us into that in-between space, between clarity and blur, presence and trace. What you see may shift with each return.

Like much of her work, this piece is less a record than a reverie. It asks nothing but your quiet attention, and rewards it with quiet transformation.
