Description: Stuttgart, Hartmann Books, 2022. 31.5 x 24 cm. 144 pp. Softcover. Illustrated in colour throughout. - Text in English and German - Between the year 849 and the present, Myanmar has had an astounding 22 capitals, while the seat of government has changed 39 times. Vast Land by Wolfgang Bellwinkel is a photographic study of the country's last three capitals: Mandalay (1857-1885), Yangon (1885-2005) and Naypyitaw (since 2005). All of them were planned on the drawing board; all are shaped by the political aspirations and the self-image of those who built them. Using these three cities as case studies, Bellwinkel tells the story of a country where one tragedy follows the next, from colonial oppression to the current state of emergency. - New copy
