On his travels he has visited more than a hundred festivals, open-air concerts and fan gatherings. Hechenblaikner's particular passion is the people who undertake long journeys barring no expense, just to get that little bit closer to their idols. It's a phenomenon which sociologist Gerhard Schulze describes as Harmoniemilieu, where the desire for a perfect world becomes one's sole and strongest driving force-one longs for a feeling of security and above all the chance, be it only for a few hours, to leave all the problems of the world behind.Hechenblaikner sees August Sander as an important role model for his work: both follow the motto \"see, observe, think.\" In Volksmusik Hechenblaikner employs this approach as well as the possibilities of large-format photography to create a typology of the public at folk music festivals. With careful precision he documents the facial expressions, gestures and clothing of his various protagonists, revealing their mentalities and life stories.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49738737352977,"sku":"NGR9783958291751","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3958291759.jpg?v=1751096602"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-lois-hechenblaikner.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
