Combining fascinating photos and multifaceted literature in a representative volume is unique in this form. Cultural historian Dr. Thomas Eickhoff and photographer Gösta Clemens Peter take a different look at Münsterland than usual: from unusual perspectives, known and unknown sides of a region come to life in pictures and words. In the varied depictions, a broad horizon of the Münsterland unfolds, which may inspire viewers who are open to literature, art history, and local history to take a closer look at certain locations, literary figures, or artists and trace them.
This opulent volume offers undreamt-of opportunities to rediscover the Münsterland and opens up an unconventional and innovative approach to the cities and people of a region. The aim of photographer Gösta Clemens Peter is to rediscover the familiar through a special perspective and a careful choice of viewpoint. His pictures captivate with their sharpness and brilliance. The photographer, who has distinguished himself through numerous exhibitions and publications, has an eye for "the other view"; color design and coloring create fascinating light-image compositions. Extremely well-known sights as well as hitherto lesser-known motifs become extraordinary eye-catchers.
At the same time, the pictures combine with literary works by important authors to form an expressive unity: the photos find their counterparts in fitting texts by writers who have spoken about the Münsterland and its inhabitants over the centuries. The historical meets the present in a look ahead: from poems by Annette von Droste-Hülshoff to Andreas Rottendorf, from passages from novels and satires by Günter Grass to Paul Schallück to aphorisms and anecdotes by Hans Dieter Schwarze to Robert Gernhardt. Laudatory and critical, factual and subjective, polemical and poetic from the pens of very different literary figures all find their place in equal measure.
