Land am Rand - Photobook by Christoph Corves
"Land am Rand" is a portrait of the region northeast of the city of Kiel. The "Probstei" is one of those provincial 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 Kiel, on the edge of the Baltic Sea and on the edge of time. The pictures capture the rough charm of this region. Realism, sometimes with a little smile, taken in the years 2010-2022. The text adds the past time to the contemporary pictures. 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 provincial yet charming region, which does not pretend to be the navel of the world.
