Joachim Brohm studied visual communications at Die Folkswangschule in Essen, 1977 - 1983, and apprenticed with Michael Schmidt, who was a major influence, 1978 -1979. In 1983, he was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to Ohio State University where he studied with Allan Sekula and Jonathan Green. He has been a freelance photographer since 1984, and variously, a lecturer of photography in Germany and abroad.

The majority of the photographs in this book were taken in the Ruhr area of Germany. A central theme is the interaction of humans in and with the landscape.

Edited by Timm Rauter, with texts in German and English by Thomas Weski, and Heinz Liesbrock. Limited to 800 numbered copies, this is No. 97. Quite scarce with WorldCat locating only nine copies, of which only three are in North America.
