德国剧作家海纳·穆勒（Heiner Müller）观察到，德国历史仿佛被风湿病的毯子所窒息：下面有温暖和停滞，足以给人一种一切都很好，而边缘却冰冷的印象。格奥尔格·库斯曼（Georg Kussmann）在 FRG 的照片就是在这个隐喻的毯子下创作的。这些作品在德意志联邦共和国制作了一个夏天，描绘了生活、工作和休闲的日常场景，不满和暴力的威胁在其中酝酿。有时，这种不安以身体行为或涂鸦口号的形式表现出来，但更多时候它被不可思议地压制。

库斯曼通过步行探索他的祖国，睡在街上，经常被恐惧和好奇驱使着继续前进，从而拍摄了这些照片。它们以广泛而坚定的顺序汇集在一起，描述了一个夹在过去重压和现在需求之间的地方。库斯曼唤起了德国职业道德、命令和首字母缩略词的特殊历史，对当代德国及其努力理解自身的方式采取了顽强但始终微妙的方法。

The German dramatist Heiner Mu?ller observed that German history lies as if smothered by a rheumatism blanket: beneath there is warmth and stagnation, just enough to give the impression all is well, while the peripheries are freezing. Georg Kussmann’s photographs in FRG were created under this metaphoric blanket. Made in the Federal Republic of Germany over a single summer, they depict everyday scenes of life, work, and leisure under which threats of discontent and violence simmer. Sometimes this unease is explicit in the form of physical acts or graffitied slogans, but more often it is uncannily suppressed.

Kussmann made these photographs by exploring his home country on foot, sleeping on the streets and often propelled to keep moving by fear as much as curiosity. Brought together in an extensive and determined sequence, they describe a place caught between the weight of the past and the demands of the present. Evoking the particular German histories of work ethics, dictates, and acronyms, Kussmann takes a dogged yet always subtle approach to contemporary Germany and the ways it struggles to understand itself.
