Das offene Versteck
Im Jahre 2018 kamen in Kentucky, USA, drei Audio-Kassetten ans Licht. Auf ihnen schildert der jüdische Landwirt Robert de Taube (1896 - 1982) aus Ostfriesland seine Überlebensgeschichte. Während die Deportationszüge von Berlin nach Auschwitz rollten, fand er Versteck in den Straßen der Reichshauptstadt und den Waggons der Stadtbahn.

Im Villenviertel von Grunewald fand er seine beste Bastion. Eine NS-Funktionärin verliebte sich in ihn. Ohne mutige Helfer hätte er nicht überlebt. Nach...
The Haunted Screen
The Golden Age of German cinema began at the end of the First World War and ended shortly after the coming of sound. From The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari onwards the principal films of this period were characterized by two influences: literary Expressionism, and the innovations of the theatre directors of this period, in particular Max Reinhardt. This book demonstrates the connection between German Romanticism and the cinema through Expressionist writings.

The Collection for the Poor Collector
Le livre d'artiste "Collection for the poor" est inspiré du livre d'Eugène Schwartz "Confessions of a poor collector". Il peut être vu comme une réponse à la demande de devenir un collectionneur d'art contemporain malgré un quasi-zéro du compte bancaire. Il rassemble 21 artistes entreprenant le travail d'exploration des stratégies économiques et de distribution en dehors du marché de l'art. Le livre qui en résulte est une oeuvre d'art en soi à un prix très raisonnable qui est en même temps un manuel qui aide à trouver des oeuvres d'art abordables qui conviennent à la fois aux capacités financières et au bon goût.
