“When I was ten years old, I was playing with fire and I accidentally spilled gasoline on myself. My burns were severe, and I barely survived. It was extremely difficult, but when I became a father, I came to see that it must have been much harder on my parents than on myself. The fear of losing a child is so much greater then the fear of personal perish. However, losing a child is not just a physical thing. Separating from my wife after 21 years together reawakened the fear, and an avalanche of emotions buried me. These images are talking about loss and distance. These images are talking about bonds. These images are talking about photography as a bridge. These images are creating the past. These images speak of the fears and delights of being a father.” Author about photography series presented in this book.

Much of this is known from other compilations and other contexts, has suddenly new titles and thus brings up to date content levels. The "HAND:WORK" is highly conceptual, but transports a certain meta-level through represented persons, topographies, texts and the memory of their original meaning, creating a whole new whole.

This exhibition catalogue encompasses three editions, of the exhibition project Concrete Dreams, presenting works by 19 photographers. It explores the heritage of industrial development conveyed through the photographic medium. In a narrower sense, the project explores how certain artists in the visual field see this heritage today and how they accept it as material for their artistic projects from the perspective of aesthetic relevance. In a broader sense, it also looks at how the photographic medium today can reflect the broader contexts of a particular place and time, which in post-war 20th century Europe promoted the development of industry and thus of certain architecture, which today is mostly abandoned or torn down or has changed its function.
