Mayors' Rooms in Germany

With his photographs of mayor's rooms, Jörg Winde shows us a cross-section of German offices in cities right across the Federal Republic of Germany, from Aachen to Zwickau, from Glücksburg to Füssen. For almost seven years Winde has worked on this typologically arranged series, photographing approximately 120 rooms in precisely formulated comprehensive views.  The pictures of these rooms are contemporary documents which inform us not only of our municipal leaders' perception of form and desire for exposure, but also of their relationship to culture and tradition."
