He received the authorization to travel to the Middle Kingdom already in the 1950s. After long stays in various cities and regions, he publicized a book in 1957 entitled „China - this Eternity“ in which he gave western readers a deep insight into the everyday life, the political and social development, the imminent challenges as well as the thinking and the culture of the Chinese population. Gigon did not only write detailed reportages and essays, he also used photographs to explore the country and to keep his experiences in pictures. His inconspicuous observations show respect for the photographed people who also keep their pride and dignity under difficult conditions. Gigon’s photographs are characterized by the sense of the beauty and tribulations of everyday life.
