“Generations” is a term that is difficult to define. It relates to the private sphere of family life, but also stands for the social roles of young and old – for example, when we think of climate change and the preservation of a world worth living in for the next generation.
Chris de Bode: Dream
“What is your dream?” – This was the question Dutch photographer Chris de Bode asked children in 13 countries. In this issue we show a selection of his portraits.
The American writer T. C. Boyle photographs an egg every day and posts the picture on his Twitter account.
Why do I daily photograph an egg?
Because it is the perfect shape, aping even the planets in their spheres?
Because it is the essence of life, the genetic material from which all animate creatures emerged?
Because I am mad?
Because repetition ad nauseam is essential not only to my shtick but my worldview?T. C. Boyle (Author)
Entire issue
The eleventh issue of “das goethe” deals with the topic of “generations”. This is also the title of this issue, but without the claim to explore the many meanings of this term. Instead, we asked a number of authors for examples that deal with generational issues and the changes that accompany them.
