As a young man, Giovanni Palmieri sped down the track on his motorcycle in pursuit of Grand Prix points. Today he casts his nets on the water for a rich cast. His freshly caught whitefish, zander and brown trout from Lage Maggiore are a welcome delicacy in the kitchen of head chef Mattias Roock at the Castello del Sole.

Paradise Island was my final year project in Camera Arts at the university of Lucerne.
What are tourists looking for on a remote tropical island? In 1985, Thomas Egli’s parents spent their honeymoon on Gili Trawangan, a small island near Lombok, in the Indonesian archipelago. In their stories and memories they described the island with its pristine white beaches, blue waters, and coral reefs as one of the most beautiful places on earth. Thomas Egli compares his parents’ memories with the current reality of the island.
Today, 30 years later, Gili Trawangan has been transformed from an untouched lagoon isle into a churning tourist destination that functions as backdrop and scenic stage for tourist illusions and unconstrained behaviour. This photographic investigation documents, among other aspects, contrasting realities such as Muslim traditions that co-exist side by side with residents and tourists openly indulging in drugs and alcohol use. On a deeper note, it exposes situations in which environmental, social, economic and political interests of the inhabitants collide with the harsh repercussions of global tourism through individual portraits, depicting staggering stories in a narrative that mirrors, and at the same time challenges the indifferent visuals and languages used by the tourism industry.

Surfers at the River Wave in Bremgarten
Mt. Brabu. From the road that leads to a well-known surfing spot, the illegal gold mine can be recognized by the blue patches, which stand out clearly from the brown environment. Here is mined with the most primitive means for gold. Barefoot and with the smallest lamps, the workers go into the mines that are accessible through a hole in the ground, several meters below the ground. Supported by bamboo poles, they hardly have tools.
Yusuf has also worked here for several years as the boss of a mining hole. He is hired by the landowner and delivers dirt every day, hopefully containing gold. He used to work in a hotel, but his wife did not want that anymore as he was too close to western girls. With the approximately 30 bags of dirt he delivers per day, he earns $ 200 a month. He was able to build a house and feed his family.
But the work carries many dangers. The mercury vapor destroys the workers' lungs and flows unhindered into the sea. In the bay below the mine it is no longer save to surf or swim. Again and again workers injured themselves by falling stones, sometimes even leading to death. The physically unbelievably strenuous work hurts the body. The long hours in the dark reduce sight.
