Ich denke niemals an die Zukunft, sie kommt früh genug
(I never think of the future, it comes soon enough)
This book reflects horoscopes and how they work in an artistic way.
The publication consists of two seperate books, connected through a magnet.
The first book contains a photographic journal about 4 weeks time, the
second shows phrases from weekly horoscopes of the same period. In addition
the publication includes a theoretical text, infographics and constellations
that can be seen at this time. The two books can and should be read simulta-
neously. Symbols mark which pictures and phrases I combined. The
size and color of the picture shows, if I thought they were true or false. The reader
can simply follow my suggestions or he can start to combine pictures and
phrases by himself, therefore breach the linear reading an interact with the book
directly. Horoscopes mostly work through their generalizing diction.
By liberating the mostly clumsy horoscope-phrases from their context, they can
become funny, poetical, and inspiring. In the end it doesn‘t really matter
if they‘re true or false.
