an den Rändern

“an den Rändern” recounts of wanderings and dog days, of the paths through and between the urban almost-outside, of peripheral zones and external territories. Johannes Döppler (photography), Danijel Sijakovic (photography) and Roman Paul Widera (text) approached the spaces beyond the cores together and collected what they found with different photographic signatures. The poems and images inhabit the pages as they gather, juxtaposing, complementing and contrasting each other.
