Souffleuse der Isolation
Kai Althoff
Published by JRP Ringier, Geneva, 2013, 264 pp. hardcover with cloth binding (colour & b/w ill.), 25.9 × 28.1 cm, English/German
Price: €72

Kai Althoff creates installations, drawings, paintings, photographs, videos and collages; he is also a musician and performer. His fragmentary and enigmatic aesthetic, where the figurative sometimes tends towards a stylization bordering on abstraction, is inspired by subcultures, historical events, religious imagery and his own childhood.

This comprehensive publication is Althoff’s third monograph. It contains never before seen works in addition to images from every stage of the artist’s career, concentrating most heavily on work since 2002.

Fox & Coyote
Daniel Gustav Cramer
Published by Daniel Gustav Cramer, Berlin, 2024, 20 pp. (b/w ill.), 20 × 28 cm, English

Every morning, a coyote roams its territory in Death Valley, California, tracing a large circle. Around the same time, a fox emerges from its shelter in Berlin and embarks on a similar route through the darkened city streets after sunset.

The publication brings these events together, forming an imaginative sculptural space inhabited by both similar-looking species.
