Illustrated with seventy striking panorama photographs in color. “Horst Hamann’s views of America condense the view, which is aware of the surrounding acceleration, the volatility, the transience. They also track down the country, where its iconography appears in tatters, where under the wandering gaze, in the arrangement of objects in the horizontal, seemingly inconspicuous places can also have a dramatic impact.” (Roger Willemsen).
