In this project Kriemann has embraced the use of an original 1942 Hasselblad reconnaissance camera as both an instrument for taking photographs while also acting as an historical vehicle to explore modernist values and technological progress. The collection of black and white and colour images takes the viewer on a subtle journey through the 20th century – one that includes perfect images of birds in flight; airplanes in flight; aerial photographs of planned urban spaces and buildings; dead birds, stuffed and archived in a museum of natural history; and the inhabitants of an anonymous apartment block. Well conceived, this handsome and thought-provoking publication is illustrated throughout and is accompanied by several writings along with a short essay.

著者Kriemannはこのプロジェクトにて、写真を撮る機械でありながらモダニストの重要性や技術革新を経験してきた歴史的機器であるハッセルブラッドの1942年製偵察用カメラを使う。鳥や飛行機が飛んでいる様や、計画された都市地域や建物の航空写真、死んだ後に剥製にされ、博物館へ収められた鳥、特徴のない住宅地のアパートに暮らす住人たちなどのモノクロやカラーの写真群は、見るものを20世紀の旅路へと誘う。
