Ischgl, the infamous après-ski hub in the Austrian Alps, was a hotspot for the spread of Covid-19 throughout Europe and beyond. This book of Lois Hechenblaikner’s photos, with accompanying German text, is a must-have for all those wanting to understand the negative impacts of mass tourism. If you can’t read German, not to worry: the photos alone are more than enough—in Walker Evans’ immortal words, “pictures speak for themselves, wordlessly, visually—or they fail.” “Ischgl” shows us our folly, and how we need to change.
