„The idea was exhilarating, but as is so often the case, putting passion into practice
proved to be arduous. In this case, I wanted to hike 681 kilometres across Germany from west to
east, from my hometown of Dinslaken on the edge of the Ruhr region to Berlin.“
(Jörn Vanhöfen)
A hike as a farewell to childhood and the time that followed. Farewell to the surroundings that shaped you. Farewell to memories. Moving away, on foot. Slowly, the roofs of childhood disappear on the horizon. New horizons open up. A hike with two aspects. The personal separation from a place. Mentally and physically. At the same time, an encounter with Germany. On a march from west to east. Encountering places that leave their mark on the hiker. Alternating between horror and beauty. Everyday life in Germany, in other words. Jörn Vanhöfen’s photographic mosaic pieces describe the journey without the cynical pathos of arrogance. It is what it is. We have to come to terms with that.
