Media Reviews
On October 5, 2012, the German newspaper Die Welt allowed the painter Gerhard Richter to substitute the day s photographs of horror for his own images. The writer Alexander Kluge has now accompanied these aggressively quotidian photos with short texts. The stories are comet-like fragments that whistle through the European past and present: from the mating habits of pigeons in the cities to a medieval subject hiding from his prince in a horse's carcass.
