Thomas Hoepker - Wanderlust - 2014

Wanderlust: 60 Years of Images is a retrospective photographic work that traces sixty years of Thomas Hoepker's career, the renowned German photojournalist and former president of Magnum Photos.

The book is not a novel with a linear plot, but a visual narrative of the world through the eyes of a privileged witness to contemporary history.
The thread running through the book is travel—geographic, cultural, and human. Hoepker gathers images taken on all continents, blending major historical events with scenes from daily life. It includes photographs related to:

- the Cold War,
- the fall of the Berlin Wall,
- the 9/11 attacks in New York in 2001,
- but also more intimate scenes showing anonymous people, urban landscapes, moments of calm or irony, characteristic of his humanist approach.

The book shows how Hoepker devoted himself to documenting the world with great attention to detail, to color (which he helped to establish in photojournalism), and to the human context of each situation. Taken together, they form a kind of visual memory of the late 20th century and the early 21st century, where History and daily life continually respond to one another.

The book is quite large and heavy (304 pages). It will be shipped with tracking and signed on arrival.
