FAR FROM BRUSSELS
Book publicaton Edition Lammerhuber
On the book jacket:
»Stefan Enders started to discover his very own Europe.
In seven months he circumnavigated Europe, 31,000 kilometers along the external borders of the European Union. Enders photographed more than 200 people in his 151 portraits. The result is a homage to the people of this Europe, a poetic-critical discussion full of sympathy and charisma.«
From the introduction text:
»TWENTY-FIVE YEARS after the division of Europe into East and West had been consigned to history and people could travel freely across the EU without checks, I wanted to tell people’s stories – not stories that everyone knows already, about how people live in Europe’s heartlands, but stories from Europe’s borders and far-flung regions: Far from Brussels.
When I set off for Scotland in my caravan in March 2015 at the start of my seven-month journey around the EU’s external border, I could never have guessed just how controversial and topical the question of Europe would become during that very year.«

They all paint a very personal picture of Europe together.«
