FranziskaStünkel´sre ectionsinmetropoliseson all continents are exciting commentaries on coexistence in a globalized world.

Since ten years, the internationally acclaimed lm director and photo artist Franziska Stünkel has been travelling through Asia, Africa, Europe, and America in search of natural reflections in shop windows, which, in their concentration, tell of the coexistence of human life. Charged with the utmost complexity, her photographs are the visualization of the similarities and contrasts that exist in our multifaceted, networked world. The artist completely dispenses with the digital post-processing of her photographs. The present volume provides comprehensive insight into the photographic series, supplemented by texts by well-known authors from various fields of science on the topic of coexistence: futurology, biology, music, religious studies, anxietyresearch.The result is a multi-layered view of the highly topical question of coexistence in our present time.
