Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

A diary about a journey made on foot in the winter of 1974, from Munich to Paris. He walked for three weeks, alone, in the cold. He believed that with this, his close friend, the historian Lotte Eisner, would survive a deep sickness. During the way he is documenting what he sees and feels, talks about films and thoughts related with this loneliness. This idea of a walk to reach some kind of cure is something meaningful to me.
