ªFair to cloudyªŒ is a prognostication regularly made on the evening weather report, promising everything and nothing. Homelandª¢what is this, and how do you recognize or identify it? Three young photographers travel across the country searching for what is ªtypically German,ªŒ something that is both fascinating and disconcerting to them. On their journey from Husum to Donaueschingen they take a serene and self-ironic look at life in the provinces, with all of its peculiarities and unquestioned traditions, which puts a smile on everyoneª¡s face. This raises the question of whether there might be something of all this in us, too. These amusing photos are accompanied by a foreword by Frank Goosen, who, with no less wit, traces German lives and superficialities in an historical survey from the 1960s to the present day.
