Ellen von Unwerth's humor permeates the pages of her new coffee table book; HEIMAT, an enchanting tour of Bavaria. The renowned fashion and music photographer returns to her native land to photograph a group of beautiful girls seeking fun and adventure amid the undulating fields, ancient traditions and deep, mysterious forests.
Heimat is a place of alpine forests. Emerald lakes. And beautiful, snow-capped mountain peaks. A land where cow bells tinkle in the meadows. Where the days pass at a more natural pace. And where village girls Hilda, Traudel, Heidi and their friends enjoy a quiet country life. Join them on their idyllic adventure. Set foot on a journey full of joy.
As they gleefully shed their dirndls and go wild in the countryside, von Unwerth's heroines demonstrate the region's characteristics and appeal, whether eating pretzels, walking across pristine meadows or seducing farmhands (and each other) dressed in lederhosen. Heimat combines old-fashioned charm with a rebellious edge and a sly subversion of traditional gender roles. The book is bursting with fresh, provocative eroticism, laced with humor and laced with an abiding love for a proud and beautiful region.
