Photographic artists Nicole Blaffert and Franz Wamhof lived at the JHQ over a period of two months, photographing the architecture, landscape and people. JHQ is short for Joint Headquarters and designates the merger of various military general staffs of NATO and the British armed forces in Germany. The complex located near Mönchengladbach very much resembles a small town with a complete infrastructure and was built between 1952 and 1954; it is scheduled to close down in late 2013. This is a photographic book with a personal documentary-like view of the dissolution of a relic from the Cold War.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
