"German photographer Joachim SCHUMACHER has been studying the city and industrial landscapes of the Ruhr Area since his studies, and it's not so much the spectacular things as the everyday things that he's paying attention to.
On the black-and-white pictures on the subject in the photo book 'Das Gebiet'(engl.: The Territory), in 'Von dieser Welt' (engl.: From this world) follows a monograph with color photographs. Cityscapes from 2000 to 2014 are here documented. The publication appears on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name in the Zollverein colliery; both titles act as a kind of catalog raisonné of this sadly nearly unknown Ruhrgebiet photographer."
