In 1991 Ernesto Baltiswiler spent one year in Sweden in the middle of a forest in a tiny house without electricity and water only from a spring 200 m away from the cabin. He experienced the particular nature of woodland, simplicity, solitude and gardening. The results were 20 new paintings titled “Im Wald drinnen” ( “Amidst Woodland”) which he exhibited in the pop-up gallery Stelzner & Rading in the Ruhrgebiet in Essen, Germany- once the centre of huge steel industry. They published the book “Ernesto Baltiswiler” which got designed by the acclaimed Swedish graphic designer Anders Ljungman in Stockholm. Ulrich Krempel, the director of the Sprengel Museum in Hannover, wrote about Baltiswiler’s paintings, photographer Snezana Vucetic Bohm managed to take an epic portrait of Baltiswiler with a boa snake around his neck. Plitt Druck- and Verlag GmbH, in Oberhausen, Germany performed a very high print quality.
