31 portraits of German-speaking writers – Handke, Haderlap, Mayröcker, Köhlmeier, Röggla, Menasse and others. Lipuš’s “scratches” describe and label the portrayed and their literary work. The multi-layered and time-consuming photographic process of the work thickens the photograph and surpasses mere documentary footage. “Photographing is an attempt to deal with the medium of photography itself and its possibilities. In my opinion, no other artistic medium offers this breadth of different aesthetic and content-related possibilities. I advocate a more specific approach to artistic photography and think that photo art should simply deal with aesthetics.” (M. Lipuš)
