The magazine of the photo-essay
Feb 2018 back issue
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”
Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
by Wolfgang Bellwinkel
Wolfgang Bellwinkel’s book No Land called Home investigates something that
might be described as a state of mind: the longing for otherness, for strangeness,
and the restlessness of someone who seeks exceptional experiences, and perhaps
knowledge, in faraway climes.
Bellwinkel builds a collage combining photographs from the last 18 years with his
own short stories, which function as autonomous companions of the photographic
material.
Photographs taken in Asia come together with images of war and post-war scenes in
Afghanistan, the Middle East and the Balkans to somehow form a coherent whole.
Private shots are interwoven with documentary images, world events with
biographical interludes. The book demonstrates a deep commitment to a
biographical oriented photography, which its author places in the context of events
taking place in a constantly changing, globalized world.
