After I was privileged enough to design a catalogue of her paintings in 2021 – on the occasion of the exhibition “New Works” – the artist was keen to bring her literary work into book form as well.
Volume 1 was published in 2022: ti apoménei – das, was bleibt. Divided into eight sections, this publication features 76 poems and texts about a very personal view of our society and the state of the world.
Volume 2 followed in 2023: mimesis – sprachliche gesten. In addition to other lyrical works, this volume also contains longer prose texts.
The texts in both publications are illustrated by the artist’s own paintings. Volume 3 is in the works.
