Publisher's Synopsis
The Iron Curtain is long gone, Germany is unified and the borders of the European Union continue to expand, yet the line between east and west in Europe still remains visible. Jens Olof Lasthein's book is a visual journey from the White Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south - powerful tales of a boundary transition. Jens Olof Lasthein's previous book, Moments in Between - Pictures from Former Yugoslavia (Journal 2000) was selected by Martin Parr and Gerry Badger for The Photobook: A History, Volume II (Phaidon 2006).
