Wonder. Being Swiss, Güdel decided to use the ultimate kitsch literary theme for his rooms: The story of Heidi by Johanna Spyri. “If you come from Switzerland, like me, you always have at least one grandfather who was a farmer...” he says.
“Heidi was awakened early the next morning by a loud whistle; the sun was shining through the round window and falling in golden rays on her bed and on the large heap of hay, and as she opened her eyes everything in the loft seemed to gleam with gold.” Johanna Spyri


Benjamin Güdel – Switzerland: The work of the Swiss illustrator Benjamin Güdel, who lives in Zurich, has its roots in the underground comic world but he says he became an illustrator in order to earn a living. His dynamic and expressive drawings, which are mostly begun by hand and then finished digitally, can be seen in various Swiss publications such as Weltwoche, Soda and DU as well as gracing posters for the Berlin avant-garde theatre, the Schaubühne.
