For the thrill of adventure many roam far and wide, meanwhile Karl-Markus Gauß stumbles into one adventure after another in the nooks and crannies in his abode: namely, in the rich history of the objects around him. He takes us on a magical jaunt through centuries and to the edges of the world – without ever leaving the confines of his room. He cherishes the noble objects of everyday life and elevates them to the rank of “vessels of stories”. Gauß finds boundless diversity in the four walls surrounding him. And proves himself an elegant cartographer of private and cerebral histories and memories.
