Hardcover. First edition. As New hardcover in the publisher's shrink wrap; no dj as issued. "Gaudlitz asked people in southern and central Eastern Europe to pose for him in their living rooms, dressed in their most festive clothing. For these sessions, most people opened up the best room in the house--the parlor, usually reserved for formal occasions and often elaborately decorated with carpets, religious icons, curtains and family photographs. The clothing worn by the people in the portraits reveals something about their different ideas of beauty as well as about their social status. In this series, Gaudlitz shows us different cultural traditions that are threatened due to the eastward expansion of the European Union. Some of the destinations visited by Gaudlitz on his journey were southern Transdanubia in Hungary, Vojvodina in Serbia, Transylvania and Dobrudja in Romania, and Bessarabia in the Republic of Moldavia." The photographer's second book. Photographs by Frank Gaudlitz; essays by Matthias Flugge and Karl-Markus Gauss. 176 pages; 76 color plates; 10 x 11.75 inches. Text in English and German.
