In this publication, contemporary artist Kathrin Sonntag embarks, after an interval of more than 100 years, on a journey through the lesser-known photographic oeuvre of the expressionist Gabriele Münter. On the book’s double-page spreads, Sonntag juxtaposes Münter's photographs with images from her own photo archive. This visual dialogue is accompanied by an essay in which she recapitulates her exploration of Münter’s pictorial world and relates it to her own experiences with the medium of photography. The artist’s publication thus develops a multilayered analysis exploring the fundamental conditions governing photography and its contextual origins, intentions, and motifs.

Kathrin Sonntag (b. 1981 in Berlin) explores the possibilities of the medium of photography through her installations. 
Gabriele Münter (b. 1877 in Berlin, d. 1962 in Murnau) took her first photographs in 1889 during a trip to the US—she subsequently trained as a painter and gained recognition in that field.
