Franziska Stünkel

Since ten years, the internationally acclaimed film director and photo artist Franziska Stunkel has been travelling through Asia, Africa, Europe, and America in search of natural reflections in shop windows, which, in their concentration, tell of the coexistence of human life. Charged with the utmost complexity, her photographs are the visualization of the similarities and contrasts that exist in our multifaceted, networked world. The artist completely dispenses with the digital post-processing of her photographs. The present volume provides comprehensive insight into the photographic series, supplemented by texts by well-known authors from various fields of science on the topic of coexistence: futurology, biology, music, religious studies, anxiety research. The result is a multi-layered view of the highly topical question of coexistence in our present time.
