In 2018, the Museum Villa Stuck presented a comprehensive retrospective with works by the goldsmith and silversmith Rudolf Bott. The book accompanying the exhibition is a 672-page monumental work.

With a 340-page photo report by Jörg Koopmann and Lene Harbo Pedersen, who photographed the objects across Europe at the lenders and in Bott's studio.

You ever read the back of a book and blah blah blah words and more words, and function. Poets depend on the emotional character of words. Manuals depend on the instructiveness of words. Yet words can be pronounced backwards or cut up and given new meaning, they can be looked at for their mathematical value, pondered over how they change in translation or seen as hiding messages within them.

Abweichend von der journalistischen Routine des Interviews, zeigt sich hier der Versuch, aus der unbefangenen Begegnung eine eigenständige Form zu entwickeln, die nicht dem Schema der Prominentenbefragung und dem Gebot des pointierten Statements gehorcht, sondern an der Idee einer souveränen Diskussion orientiert ist.

The hinges of this construction might be functions within it that become as yet unknown parameters by the very act of reading them. IT IS A STOPOVER. ...The room it offers is circumscribed and structured by the book’s parameters: format, binding, jacket, title page, layout, preface, postface, table of contents, captions, cross headings, intertitles, annotations, editorial notes, appendix, blurb, names and accessories.

Oliver Hartung reiste zwischen 2007 - 2009 in den Mittleren Osten und fotografierte in Syrien Schilder und Denkmäler, die zu Ehren des seit 1971 herrschenden Regimes Assad errichtet wurden. Sein Buch "Syria al-Assad" ist eine lose Typologie von jenen einst allgegenwärtigen Objekten regimetreuer Propaganda, die in der Bevölkerung geliebt und gehasst waren, und die die visuelle Kultur in Syrien stark bestimmten. Jene Schilder, die Oliver Hartung meist aus einem fahrenden Auto heraus aufnahm, befinden sich heute in den Kampfgebieten und existieren so vermutlich nicht mehr. In seinem Buch erscheinen alle Fotos auf der rechten Seite, die perforiert ist und die man wie bei einem Abrisskalender heraustrennen kann. Bild und Text können so separat betrachtet, gelesen und wieder neu zusammengesetzt werden. Die arabischen Inschriften der Schilder sind ins Englische übersetzt.
