Henrik Spohler's project explores essential transit sites for global commodity flows that consumers rarely see. The past two to three decades of globalization have led to an accelerated pace of commerce that is hard to escape. Goods are available to us almost everywhere, yet the logistical hubs—like harbors and freight airports—serve only economic purposes and provide no clues about their geographical origins. The project's photographs reveal the hidden aspects of industrial production and trade, presenting fictitious motifs from unnamed regions in Europe and Asia that disrupt traditional landscapes. This landscape-format book features images printed on paper that balances tactile quality with reproduction fidelity. Each photograph is given a dedicated double page, enhancing the serene visual language of Spohler's work and encouraging contemplative viewing. The collection includes fifty-six photographs taken across Spain, Belgium, Poland, the Netherlands, China, and Germany, showcasing the often-overlooked spaces that facilitate global commerce.
