Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.First published in Zurich in 1943, when neutral Switzerland's manufacturing was happily profiting from the Second World War, Jakob Tuggener's Fabrik, a sceptical pictorial critique of Swiss industry, was entirely out of step with the times.
Its images of factories and furnaces, turbines and workers – some derived from the brochures he produced in his day job as an industrial photographer – subtly undercut the myth of technical progress; their expressionistic and frequently disorienting compositions amounting to a kind of satirical constructivism.
A commercial failure in its day, it has since become a milestone in the history of the photography book.
