The Travelling Unicorn

(lat. unicornis universus)

Story by Sandro Gämperle May 9th, 2017

Wanderlust

With both photography and traveling being my biggest passions I was always trying to find a common theme that would link all my travels with one another. You’ve most probably seen the photos of kidnapped garden gnomes that went on a world trip and that were posing in front of well known landmarks across the globe. This is what I had in mind without just copying that idea (and without having to lug around a gnome - my camera gear is more than enough already).

On a cold November Sunday morning, I was browsing the web and came across a web shop that sold all kind of masks. The unicorn mask immediately caught my attention. This is what I was looking for. From then on, I took the mask with me on all my travels. The list will certainly get longer over time and I will update this story once I have new photos to add.

Currently, I took photos in the following cities/countries:




Zurich, Switzerland / Havana, Cuba / Sossusvlei, Namibia / big island, Hawaii

Hope you enjoy them. It’s a silly concept, I know. :-)
