About
We are Emma and Mathilde, twin sisters based between Lausanne and Zurich with a shared love for Switzerland.
Who is Twin–Peaks?
-
We grew up wandering off the beaten paths of Switzerland.
Our early journeys sparked a love for road trips close to home. We’ve explored valleys, villages, and quiet back roads in search of hidden gems and lesser-known places.
Artists at heart, these adventures turned into a form of expression. Through photography and storytelling, we began capturing the landscapes we encountered along the way.
Over time, wandering and creating as a pair naturally led to the birth of Twin–Peaks.
-
As twin sisters, we tell the story of Switzerland through two voices: Mathilde through images, Emma through words.
Our backgrounds, ECAL (Lausanne University of Art and Design) for Mathilde and literature at the University of Lausanne for Emma, have shaped the way we see and interpret the world. Image and text naturally echo and enrich one another in our work.
Together, we explore Switzerland not only as storytellers, but as a pair, sharing a common gaze on the landscapes, places, and people that shape our country.
Twin–Peaks is, above all, a way of sharing Switzerland: its landscapes, cultures, and people, through stories told in images and words.
-
We want to show a Switzerland that is diverse, alive, and sensitive.
A Switzerland that can be discovered through slowness, contemplation, and attention to detail.
We aim to highlight smaller destinations and lesser-known regions, places with soul that often lack the means to tell their own story. We want to show a place in all its dimensions: its landscapes, its seasons, its people, and their crafts and expertise.
Through a female gaze and a non-competitive approach to the mountains, we seek to offer a different way of representing natural spaces: softer, more authentic, and more emotional.
Twin—Peaks is an ode to quiet beauty, adventure, authenticity, and the “in-between” moments, those ordinary, fleeting instants that give a place its full depth and character.
between heritage and present time, movement and slowness, action and contemplation
We seek to offer a more complete, nuanced, and sensitive vision of Switzerland.
