Landfall is part travel diary, part meditation, a guidebook to wanderlust. Felzmann lives and works in the San Francisco Bay area, traveling throughout the West when the mood strikes, working with a 5x7" view camera and a keen sense of intuition. The need to find connection to the natural world, to the land in which one lives, is central to his work, and as such, provides the only structural foundation to this collection of images. Felzmann engages, not in preaching to us, but in pure spiritual quest. Presented with minimal text (found only at the end), Landfall reads like a visual novella.
Roads that peter out in the middle of nowhere, buildings that no longer make sense, flotsam and jetsam that defy oblivion: Lukas Felzmann's scenery and objects quietly and unobtrusively open up their profound symbolism in the field of tension between desire and memory, hope and pain, dream and reality. Together they form a narrative that follows its own rules, subtly carrying the viewer along on a strange journey, where broad landscapes and deep horizons become expanses onto which visions of all kinds can be projected. Uncompromisingly printed in a small format deliberately set apart from the typical coffeetable picture book, Landfall is like a literary work, an existential analysis of the truths and illusions of our civilization, or a piece of poetry full of surprising encounters, whose ambivalence requires repeated reading.--Publisher.
