Exhibition „Der Pakt mit dem Leser“.
Drawing on the life and work of Siegfried Lenz, my work focuses on his friendship with Helmut Schmidt as well as the tension between politics and literature. It moves between biographical inquiry and conceptual condensation, exploring how personal relationships, political thought, and literary expression intersect and inform one another.
The project is also part of an illustrated portrait of Lenz, published by Carlsen Verlag, which reflects the many facets of his life and work.
The exhibition brings together a series of posters created alongside the publication and presented as a special exhibition at the Central Library.
