Publisher's Synopsis
The story of the reception of 'E.M.T. in MSP' is a curious one. While still a student in the mid 90s, artist Heinz Peter Knes began photographing his younger siblings in the small town of Fellen in Lower Franconia. The photos were plucked by various fashion magazines from the early 2000s forward and presented in a variety of concepts. The images contained something that the editors craved: youth and a sense of intimate outsiderness. Named aftert the siblings, Eva, Mirjam and Thomas, and the district of Main-Spessart, the complexity of 'E.M.T. in MSP' can be seen as an organising principal designed to save it from a too-quick revelation.
