Tobias Zielony (b. 1973, lives in Berlin) has long been photographing young people in their given environments, mainly in the public space. He is attracted to the fringe areas of urban reality: the banlieues of French metropolises, the cities of Saxony-Anhalt that have gained a reputation as shrinking cities. In this publication, Zielony documents the desert city Trona outside Los Angeles. In such places social tensions, the lack of alternatives and prospects are strongly in evidence.
