Wildwuchs und Methode / Macchia e metodo
[Sprachbilder von unten / Immagini linguistiche dal basso]

This bilingual book was jointly inspired by the city of Matera, in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, and by Vienna. It presents a comprehensive archive of verbal images as it explores themes of identity, translation, expectation, otherness, shame, and materiality. Personal notes, essays, and expressions are either randomly juxtaposed or methodically ordered based on poetic or quotidian spaces, and condensed into a volume filled with remembered and imagined scenes.

The book was awarded as one of the most beautiful books of Austria 2021.
