Markus has spent 2 years traveling germany to photograph the land and city scapes in which these nondescript, controversial internment houses are situated.

The portfolio is a linen bound book, ca 30×40 cm, 40 pages with ca 38 color images. There is the choice of one of the 2 diptych images above. “Berlin” or “Fürth”, these are printed on Hahnemühle Photorag.
