About the Book

Erik Steinbrecher photographs people lying and sleeping on the lawns of parks in big cities. He approaches them up to a certain distance and clandestinely takes his pictures. He creates photographically highly ambivalent atmospheres held in suspension. On the one hand, he shows overwhelming, highly vulnerable intimacy in public space and the provocation of this publicly displayed intimacy. On the other hand, he creates urban landscapes of great calm and harmony, in which the human body seems for once close to nature and, at least for a moment, submerged in it. "The sleeper is pure. Nothing touches this figure. It transports itself across its own space, its own time. The sleeper is always innocent. (...) If you sleep in public, you become more vulnerable. This is why only the young and the poor tend to do it. Maybe to bask in the sun, maybe because there is nowhere else to go. Maybe because you are simply tired. Of your owon you take the position of a fetus. The earliest stages of fetal development are common to all vertebrates. This suggests a return to childhood or a biological regression." (John Miller, The cave of human beings, in: Couch, 01/2000)
