In Oberwil, Switzerland, Fasnacht transforms the streets into a ritual of inversion, noise, and tradition. Rooted in medieval rites, the masked cliques, half mythical, half satirical, move through the town in acts of both celebration and confrontation.

LĂ­via Peres is a brazilian photographer and mother of three. After the birth of her first daughter, she left behind urban life in Brazil to embrace a quieter, more nature-centered life in Switzerland. Her work focuses on the emotional landscapes of motherhood and childhood, capturing both their beauty and their challenges.
