Eine Stadt: Essen.

Essen.: Museum Folkwang., 1977. Publisher’s yellow warppers, title printed in black on front cover and spine.. (20.5 x 15 cm).. pp. (172). Offset black-and-white reproductions of 318 photographs. Feldmann spent a period of over six weeks in Essen and the surrounding Ruhr district, travelling by car and taking hundreds of black-and-white photographs. As usual Feldmann did not select any spectacular images for the 318 photographs used in the book. Instead, we are presented with blurred photographs, overcast images that reflect the artists reality: nondescript housing blocks, disjointed views of parked cars, empty fields, electricity pylons, randomly angled close-ups, and other general scenes of mundanity.
