Interiors from the series "Heritage". 1993-2010/printed 2018. 6 chromogenic prints on Fuji Crystal Archive paper. Each circa 28 x 35 cm (30 x 39,5 cm). Each signed by the photographer in ink on the verso. From an edition by Griffelkunst-Vereinigung Hamburg e.V.

This selection of photographs is part of a large-scale project Martin Rosswog, a master student of Bernd Becher, has pursued since 1989. The "Heritage" series documents rural interiors throughout Europe. Rosswog's goal is to capture the forms of living typical of countries and regions before they disappear as a result of advancing modernization and globalization. For the project, he collaborated with historians and took a strictly systematic documentary approach. He gives special attention to houses and farm buildings that have been largely spared from modern influences and which have still been used for centuries, reaching back to pre-industrial times. – In very good condition.
