»Snow White was bisexual by the way«, says Dietmar Dath, the untiring head banger of contemporary German literature; and for once, Heike Aumüller, portraitist of paranormal states of consciousness, agrees with him: She digs deep down into the precipices of her treasure trove of images and uses her photography to set the pace for Dath’s prose pieces. Dietmar Dath, the former editor-in-chef of pop culture magazine SPEX, novelist published by Germany’s renowned Suhrkamp company and film critic for the German broadsheet, FAZ, and Heike Aumüller, performer, musician (»Kammerflimmer Kollektief«) and master of photographic self-portrayal, set these circumstances dancing and are also committed to zombie alarms and magic fairies, Adorno and the sheen of naked skin, among other things. The outcome is a collection of modern fairy tales and myths, a story and picture book full of surprising perspectives, a salto mortale between contemporary artand contemporary literature.
