Making The Human Zoo

Lucerne · Switzerland 2025

The familiar seen as if for the first time.

How the book came into being.

Jung Merlin walks through Lucerne without trying to possess it. People pass, wait, pause, gather, look and are looked at.

The Human Zoo is not about the others. It is about all of us.

A moving glimpse into the making of the book — among people, in the city, with the camera as a quiet companion.
