FLÄCHENLAND - STEPHANIE KIWITT JONATHAN EVERTS ...

The title Flächenland is a reference to the geographical term  alluding to the urban sprawl in
rural areas that the majority of people in Saxony-Anhalt live in. Stephanie Kiwitt took these
atmospherically dense photographs while travelling through the state: on walks  from her car 
or from the train. They show glimpses of towns  villages  and landscapes  often put together as
sequences that communicate a shift in perspective or convey movement or a sense of getting
closer. Kiwitt's images describe a living space that has been hugely influenced by economic and
social processes and is in an ongoing process of transformation. The photos give visual
expression to political statements and signs of continuous structural change. In the booklet
accompanying the images  Jonathan Everts and Daniel Herrmann use Kiwitt's photographic work as
a means to reflect on the present and future of urban agglomerations and rural areas in
Saxony-Anhalt. Stephanie Kiwitt is a photographer and Professor of Communication Design  
Photography at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle. Jonathan Everts is
Professor of Human Geography at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. Daniel Herrmann is
artistic director of the Werkleitz Centre for Media Art.
