Description of the work:

From today's perspective, it sounds like a fairy tale when Thomas Hoepker speaks about the start of his America Reportage. Would you like to discover America? editor-in-chief Horst Mahnke asked one day. Sure, we said. But what exactly do you want us to do there? I think, replied the editor, you'll fly to New York and then you rent a car and you drive westward until you meet the Pacific, and then you drive back on another route and you take pictures and write about what you see. The year was 1963 and Hoepker was 27. Thus Hoepker began his journey from New York to the Pacific coast. The skyscrapers and skylines of the great metropolises were soon abandoned to document a country much more problematic, bizarre and moving than the postcard that Europeans had in mind. The result was Heartland, one of the first examples of photojournalism interpreted in a personal way.
