The gallery of the Probstei Museum Schönberg is showing 40 photos from the project “Land am Rand” in a solo exhibition from July 20 to October 26, 2025.
Land am Rand
“Land am Rand” is a portrait of the Probstei region and neighboring areas northeast of Kiel, one of those rural regions that are at least as typical of Germany as Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich. A region on the edge of everything. On the edge of the republic, on the edge of the Baltic Sea, and on the edge of time. The laconic images, taken between 2010 and 2022, capture the austere charm of this region. The text adds a bygone era to today's photographs. It is taken from the travelogue of J. Taillefas, who spent the summer of 1817 in the Probstei. The result is a portrait of a small, charming country that has no need to be the center of the world. A declaration of love for the north German province.
