Critical Distance

I'm publishing a book, signed and limited to 50 copies, called "Critical Distance - A Perpetual Absence of Home". The concept of this book comes from my ambiguous feeling toward any notion of home or "Heimat" and my simultaneous desire to belong. The country I grew up in does not exist anymore, at least not as such. And meanwhile, I have lived longer in the United States than in the united Germany. I am feeling out of place more often than at home, trying to get comfortable with the idea of sitting on the fence. And so, while not having any desire to be either German or US-American, I wonder where "home" is situated. Perhaps home is just the path one travels from one place to another, the people one travels with, the experiences one creates on the way, and the memories one retains. So, on 90 pages, the book follows my travels from place to place and back: photographs showing Germany as I move in and through, parenthesized by images of airport and in-flight scenes. What did I find? Find out for yourself. Contact me for a copy of the book.
