Holger Schnapp

“Shadow zones” are areas that the gaze only reaches with difficulty, areas that are largely impossible to observe or appraise. In their new book, the artist Holger Schnapp and the author Jean-Marie Gleize thus focus on zones of violence, destruction, and displacement. Acts of inhumanity take place in the name of religions and ideologies, and the arduously achieved values of civilization are annulled. Texts and pictures created in Belgium, Germany, France, and Northern Africa raise the question of how we want to coexist. For the time being, the answer remains open.
