- Michael Tewes (born 1973, Remscheid Lennep Germany). Studied photography and design in Dortmund, Potsdam, and Chicago.
- Summary:
- Highways are more than mere traffic routes: they are symbols of speed and mobility. In 1930s Germany, they served propaganda purposes. Today they are central infrastructures. In this volume, photographer Michael Tewes devotes himself to the roads that have relentlessly carved paths across Germany and through its nature, as well as to their special architectures. Often perceived as a monotonous way-station channel for people on their way to a destination, Tewes brings the highway into our conscious perception and shows it as an architectural building form in its own right. This monograph is the result of a six-year project and is published in parallel with the exhibition at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany.
