On his travels he has visited more than 100 festivals, open-air concerts and fan gatherings. Hechenblaikner’s particular passion is for 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.\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eVolksmusik\u003c\/i\u003e Hechenblaikner explores 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 psychologies and life stories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steidl, Gerhard Druckerei und Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052456755440,"sku":"9783958291751","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783958291751_p0.jpg?v=1763710353","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783958291751","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
