Wim Wenders *1945

About the work
The famous filmmaker Wim Wenders began taking pictures during the shooting of the film »Paris, Texas« in 1983. »I was travelling alone in the American West, taking color negatives for the first time in my life.« The pictures taken at that time were later published under the title »Written in the West«.
The large-format print titled »Two Cars and a Woman Waiting, Houston, Texas« from this series is one of the few of his photographic works that shows people. Wenders' photographs are always made in analog form and without digital post-processing. Only the image detail is staged by him afterwards.
