Following the phenomenal success of Gerry Johansson’s 2011 publication Pontiac, we are pleased to publish the long-awaited Deutschland which completes an eighteen-year series of books for which Johansson travelled through America, Sweden, Germany and Mongolia. Deutschland is a visual encyclopedia, a catalogue of the rural and urban landscapes of Germany arranged in alphabetical order. In carefully structured grey scale images, Johansson sensitively explores German history through its landscape, picking out the industrial scenes, industrial buildings, residential roads and shop fronts. His quiet photographs are carefully constructed, grid patterns recur constantly and each frame is packed with information.

スウェーデン人フォトグラファー、Gerry Johanssonが、アメリカ・スウェーデン・ドイツ・モンゴルでの旅の記録を18年に渡って1カ国ずつ写真集にまとめてきたシリーズ最終章は「ドイツ」。ドイツ国内の田舎や都会の中で捉えられた風景をアルファベット順に並べて構成。
