When, on 5 October 2012, the newspaper Die Welt published its daily issue, the 30 pages were characterized by an unprecedented calm. This was the work of Gerhard Richter who had been granted control over Die Welt for that day. His images from quiet moments amid unquiet times inspired writer Alexander Kluge who instantly began writing stories to accompany Richter’s images. This book, the second collaboration between Kluge and Richter, brings their stories and images together, along with texts and artworks created specifically for this volume.
