BASED ON PROMISES critically explores the limits of two-dimensional photography in three-dimensional space and questions the truth content of photography - also in a historical context. With its various papers and forms of presentation adapted to the individual works of art, from the screen printing on the cover to the high-gloss lacquered pictures inside, the book invites readers to reflect on photographic works. BASED ON PROMISES has been published in cooperation with the Kunstverein Ruhr in Essen.
