This is a photograph of a collage featuring various scenes. The image consists of twelve smaller black and white photographs arranged in a grid. In the top left, there is a bare tree against a background. The next image shows a mountain landscape with a person lying in the snow. The third shows three figures lying on stretchers with people surrounding them. On the top right, a child looking upwards is depicted, with a Swiss flag visible in the background. Below, in the second row, left to right, there is another snowy scene with people standing with skis, a protest with a banner and flags in front of a building, and a shadow of a person taking a photo of some bicycles. The bottom row starts with a tree against a clear sky, a distant view of a boat with smoke coming from it on the water, an outdoor puppet theatre viewed by an audience, and finally a snowy landscape with a fence line.
