What is photography? Can the question be explored using literary means? When the photographic image is reflected in the literary afterimage, can one speak of reflection? In this anthology, compiled from the master’s degree in Cultural Publishing at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and Fotomuseum Winterthur, sixty authors respond to one or more images from the museum’s collection, adopting sixty different professional and cultural positions in a belletristic, autobiographical, lyrical, and experimental text.

With photographies by Hans Danuser, Dunja Evers, Joakim Eskildsen, Luigi Ghirri, Jitka Hanzlová, Roni Horn, Zoe Leonard, Annelies Strba, and others.
