Der Strand - La Spiaggia - Pljaz - The Beach

The book is a photographic exploration of the European coastline: A personal and impressionist look at the way people decorate beaches from Rimini to Biarritz, from Brighton to Jalta for the time when the climate permits swimming and sunbathing. The pictures have been taken while strolling along European shores and focus on the architecture of endless public beaches on the Adriatic, the individual wild patterns of colourful beach-huts and tents on the Atlantic coast, wind-breaks and wicker chairs on the windy coasts of the North Sea, piers and platforms stretching out from the beaches at the Black Sea and promenades hewn into rough cliffs of the Mediterranean to provide access to the sea and the sun. On the horizon waits a wide variety of temporary furniture and beach goods that are part of life at the beach. As in the photographic work of Trude Lukacsek in general she does not concentrate on people themselves but on the traces they leave on the face of cities and landscapes. She tries to store these marks and thus rescues them from the waves of constant change for the benefit of the viewer. She is not interested in monuments but in every-day building designs, constructed with the creative energy, the imagination and the disposition of its producers. And it seems that the proximity of the sea stimulates people to an unconstrained and joyful way of handling colour and shape. Photographs were taken in Italy, Portugal, France, Great Britain, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Latvia, Russia, Ukraine, Greece and Croatia.
