David Schalko, known as the director and writer of series such as Altes Geld and Braunschlag, is releasing his first photo book, Geister. It is the collection of an obsession: Schalko’s creatures, which he continuously and everywhere discovers, are stains and marks on streets, in backyards, and most prominently on house walls and in stairwells. Through his close-up shots, these details transform into independent objects, faces, or scenes. The photos are accompanied by captions in Schalko’s distinctive blend of irony and depth. In this way, his creatures tell us stories and make us smile. A truly extraordinary photo and art book!
