This here offered, out-of-print monograph was published on the occasion of the presentation of the 'ScotiaBank Photography Award' 2014 to American landscape photographer Mark RUWEDEL and gives a compact overview and a deeper understanding of his work.

In the photo book 'Ouarzazate', the name of a Moroccan city with famous film sets, the landscape photographer Mark RUWEDEL continues his interest in contemporary ruins far away from the American deserts, where he has been working for thirty years.

'Message from the Exterior' by landscape photographer Mark RUWEDEL explores in a humorous way ruins and remains of failed attempts to live in the harsh environments of the desert region east of Los Angeles, in small, often eccentric and somewhat lost huts

In this photo volume, 'Seventy-Two and One Half Miles Across L.A.', Mark RUWEDEL documents a drive through Los Angeles, crossing as many geographical, economic, political and cultural boundaries as possible. Books by Ed RUSCHA served him as inspiration.
