Ellen von Unwerth. Heimat

An enchanted trip through Bavaria with Ellen von Unwerth

Ellen von Unwerth��s puckish humor pervades the pages of Heimat, an enchanted tour around Bavaria. The renowned fashion and music photographer revisits her childhood homeland to shoot a posse of gorgeous girls out for fun and adventure amid the region��s undulating fields; age-old traditions; and deep, mysterious forests.

As they happily discard their dirndls and run riot across the countryside, von Unwerth��s heroines demonstrate the attributes and attractions of the region, whether munching on pretzels, striding out across pristine pastures, or seducing lederhosen-clad farmhands (and each other). Blending old-world charm with a rebellious edge and a sly subversion of traditional gender roles, Heimat bursts with fresh, provocative eroticism, tied up with wit, laced with an abiding love for a proud and beautiful region.
