The wrecked Cruise Ship is visible and attracts me like a magnet, so I finally venture to swim across. Against all odds, I find the shipwreck freely accessible — neither fences nor security personnel! Rather, the doors are open, lights are turned on, no man can be seen—nothing in the way to document…

On the 10th of april, 2004 I shot my first Polaroid in Los Angeles, the photograph features the Chevron Filling Station on the crossing of La Brea Avenue and Beverly Boulevard. A car had died down in the drive. Sky was grey like concrete and “Dude’s“ bowling site had fallen to demolition. Damn! I had an “In-And-Out“ burger with my sweetheart and turned my back on the city.

Aimlessness has long been one of the defining values here. Because of the fear of earthquakes, the city was built expansively and close to the ground, so there's very little that stands in the way of one's view; even a mere two-story house catches the eye.
Freddy Langer, FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG
While I was driving through the streets of Los Angeles I kept asking myself: “Where is the city?“ Janko’s Polaroid Pictures have the sound of an answer to that question.

SURF FICTION is a bravely photographed and fiercely original visual essay, equally forthright and understated in effect, that codes and decodes styles and techniques and compounds them into a condensed statement. Markus Frehrking
Werner introduced his 1992 unpublished dummy at Paris Photo 2012 and WhitePress decided to publish the book under the condition that nothing would be changed — not even the odd 90s digital colors.
We spend merciless hours absorbing film, video, and internet collateral. Amann’s greatest trick with this book is to play on the nature of this game.
