Barbara Fischer has kindly given me some links to contemporary German photographers. One of these photographers is Johannes Backes:
Johanne Backes, Bundesstrasse series,
There is very little commentary or images on the web about Backes' work and so we we have to rely on the work on his website.This appears to be organized into projects, one of which is about the Bundesstra entitled Bundesstrasse Nr. 1.This particular image, which is towards the end of the series, is untypical of the series as the interesting photography is mostly done in a documentary style.
The Bundesstrasse Nr. 1(a motorway) is burdened with history, wanders with a rural region and is over-ladened with the Nazi past. Do we have a fossilization" of "posthistory" here in contemporary German photography.
