People want and love stories. On the street, stories tell themselves. The street is the great endless narrative of life. I am fascinated by street photography. Because the most appealing thing about my work as a photographer is and remains the way chance directs. Chance is the defining moment of the photographic.
Willy Spiller
In his book, Zürich 1967-1976, Willy Spiller illuminates life in Zurich for a brief decade from 1967 to 1976 - a decade in which the city was extremely on the move.
It was the time of the 1968 movement, a revolutionary youth that asserted itself against the establishment with new principles. A city that was in a state of upheaval and was upgrading its architecture, tearing down the old and building up the new.

Not more beautiful, but much more modern. Traffic routes that had to be made wider and faster to accommodate the rapidly increasing traffic - and today are already at their end again. People who maintained their own circles in these impetuous times, their circle of friends in Niederdorf, at Langgasse or behind the National Museum.
