Ellen von Unwerth’s puckish humor pervades the pages of
Heimat, an
enchanted tour around Bavaria. The renowned fashion and music photographer revisits her childhood homeland to shoot a posse of
gorgeous girls out for fun and adventure amid the region’s undulating fields; age-old traditions; and deep, mysterious forests.
As they happily
discard their dirndls and run riot across the countryside, von Unwerth’s heroines demonstrate the attributes and attractions of the region, whether munching on pretzels, striding out across pristine pastures, or seducing lederhosen
-clad farmhands (and each other). Blending
old-world charm with a rebellious edge and a sly subversion of traditional gender roles,
Heimat bursts with
fresh, provocative eroticism, tied up with wit, laced with an abiding love for a proud and beautiful region.
