Description
“Of Potato Roses and Burning Treetops” by Annemie Martin and Jana Kießer is more than a book – it’s a reflection of changed lives during the Corona Pandemic. Across a distance of 800 kilometers, Annemie on an island in Lake Constance and Jana in Berlin, the two engaged in a dialogue that spanned more than a year.
The book captures images that reflect the ongoing state of emergency. Personal diary entries provide insights into inner monologues, fleeting thoughts, memories and dreams. This allows readers to identify with the experiences and emotions of the time and to view the actual state of the pandemic from different perspectives.
“Of Potato Roses and Burning Treetops” invites not only reading, but also active participation. The book contains a collection of stickers that readers can use to design the cover and the back of the book according to their wishes. Thus, the book becomes a personal archive of the thoughts and emotions that shaped this extraordinary time.
