The bad news: Due to the great demand, the catalog is already 3 months after publication no longer available. The good news: The second edition has already been printed and the publication will soon be available for order again from Hatje Cantz Publishers.

38.195! So many visitors saw my exhibition and the show by Alison Jackson running at the same time at the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf. So much positive feedback, so many good conversations and a catalog that was sold out by the end—thank everyone who came to see my photographs and encouraged me in my work. Many thanks also to the great team of the museum—it was a lot of fun with you!
