Gunnar Volkmann, architect, author, and board member of the GfZK Förderkreis, together with photographer Christian Rothe, award winner of the Schönste Deutsche Bücher award, presents the book Taxi nach Leipzig at the GfZK: Taxi nach Leipzig, die Stadt als Spielfeld
Leipzig under the microscope as an organism, in a present that is mostly measured selectively. An architect and a photographer amid global tensions, between sketch paper and AI, black-and-white film and pixels, adaptation and suppression. This photo essay conceives of urban mutation as a game—speculative, grotesque, essayistic. In twelve fragments, text and images measure the rules, roles, and cracks of a society in transition, in montages that are always also de-montages. Who is playing along here, what options do we have after the crisis—and what is actually at stake?
