ERNA LENDVAI-DIRCKSEN. FLANDERN. DAS GERMANISCHE VOLKSGESICHT

Gorik Lindemans is obsessed with books, or rather with looking at books. In his video he guides us through this fascinating picture-book ‘Flandren. Das Germanische Volksgesicht’, with splendid photographs of Flemish farmers and landscapes from the early forties by Erna Lendvai-Dircksen. As Lindemans makes us discover every picture and every detail, we begin to grasp the intentions of the photographer and her publisher.
