Ein mal – Wim Wenders
Apr 11, 2017 - Alessandro Bo
A year ago, I encountered with a bible, leaning on a friends bookshelf. The elegant cover and the simple title instantly caught my eye. The only reference I had about Wim Wenders was two of his classic films “Paris Texas” and “American friend”. Known not only for his “road movies”, he actually started his career as a painter, photographer and this developed into film. The book shows a selection of beautiful color images that he shot during his scouting and many road trips. The simple, yet poetic stories that he documented along the way, have been a continuous inspiration to my work.
