Title: E.M.T. in MSP
Description: Edition Taube is pleased to present the first publication of German artists Heinz Peter Knes? E.M.T. in MSP. Taken in the mid-1990s, the celebrated work of 85 photographs documents the artist?s younger siblings Eva, Mirjam and Thomas as they emerge into puberty and young adulthood in the small Catholic town of Fellen. 0'E.M.T. in MSP' addresses poignant issues around identity, youth and heritage through a profoundly intimate lens. The story of E.M.T in MSP's inception 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 conceits. The images contained something that the editors craved: a combination of innocent youth and a sense of intimate outsiderness. Over the years the project existed more as a rumor and suggestion than a realized body of work. Named after the siblings, Eva, Mirjam and Thomas, and the district of MainSpessart, the complexity of E.M.T. in MSP can be seen as an overarching structural principle preventing it from offering an overly simplistic or quick revelation. .
