Joachim Brohm undertook a photo-urban project of long term observation. For roughly a decade, from 1992 to 2002 - he took photographs of the same location - on the outskirts of a German city - as it was being redeveloped from a 1950s commercial / industrial district into a gentifried post industrial services centre and living area. In a meditative return, Brohm cartographically captured the premises, their buildings and materials, and chronologically documented the changes and developments during this period. Brohm's pictorial idiom - characterised by a dissolved centre, layering and compositions referring to the continuations of space beyond the picture's limts - is both documentary and deconstructive. His photographs simultaneously depict and dissolve the outside world, lending the transitory, hovering state of reality and meaning a powerful pictorial form.

"When Dessau was bombed in early 1945, the Director's House and Moholy-Nagy's Master House were reduced to rubble as well. After the Dessau Masters' Houses - epitome of the 20th-century artists' colony - had been restored to their original state in the 1990s, a debate began on the reconstruction of the two houses destroyed in the war. In 2010, after consultation with the British star architect David Chipperfield, the decision was made to recreate the Master Houses of Gropius and Moholy-Nagy using contemporary means, rather than rebuilding them 1:1. And so they have now been reconstructed on the basis of designs by the Berlin firm Bruno-Fioretti-Marquez, as innovative reductions and abstractions of the original houses. This volume describes the chequered history of the Dessau Masters' Houses, presenting the reconstructed buildings for the first time in book form, with photographs by Armin Linke and Heidi Specker."--Provided by publisher

“How are we to live in a way that is healthy and economical?” One answer to this question was provided by Ernst Jahn's film of the same name Wie wohnen wir gesund und wirtschaftlich? (1926-28), which showed the kitchen in the Gropius House complete with all the latest domestic appliances it was equipped with. The Dessau Masters' Houses were not only showcases of “new living” (Neues Wohnen) but also places where modern methods of housekeeping could be demonstrated. The topical relevance of this question was discussed at the 2015 Haushaltsmesse, an international trade fair on the art of housekeeping and budgeting. The publication Housekeeping in the Modern Age, which takes a documentary approach to this subject, now brings together these different viewpoints eyeing the question through the prism of the problems we face today. In the face of climate change and dwindling resources, the externalized costs of running a modern household are back on the (kitchen) table. The book is a compilation of essays by internationally renowned anthropologists, economists, artists, architects, historians, and cultural studies experts and also contains a wealth of historical documents and photographs.
