SB-003

In »Das Phantom«, Jenny Schäfer invites us into an in-between world: not fully comprehensible or tactile, yet there; a place to inhabit, beyond a fully alienated reality. It documents three visits to Disneyland Paris. Tightly interwoven with the personal, we mainly see images of facades and built scenery. From the middle of SofortBooks' third issue, Elif Akyüz' text contribution “The most pleasurable of all possible worlds” unfolds, illuminating historical developments, and then-current philosophical thought on emerging cinema and mass entertainment, the pure commercialism of the postwar world, and the dazzling stories of capitalism. On the back side of the text, in between the in-between worlds of Jenny Schäfer, a pattern unfolds and refolds. Mandy Knospe's angry four-fold fist sucker-punches us straight into the next dimension.
