Kai Wiedenhofer The Wall

A beautiful book of full-bleed, landscape images taken by photographer Kai Wiedenhofer with a Fuji GX617 panorama camera. Wiedenhofer explains in the Acknowledgements that he was persuaded to return to Israel and the Palestinian territories by writer, Christian Schmidt. Wiedenhofer found that using a 6x17 cm camera was a challenging yet joyful experience, but was the most convenient tool for the project.

The result is a well edited, diverse collection of imagery, featuring the natural and manmade landscape, with inhabitants mostly contained but some traversing the interface structures and security checkpoints.

The book is produced to a very high standard, with thick paper and rich, deep colours. As one would expect from publisher, Steidl.
