Click, click, click and strange things happen, right beforethe camera, with no digital manipulation: Ghosts flash through the Berlin cityscape. Plants cast shadows onthe sky. Many places gather in the same place at once. Monsters imitate flowers (or is it the other way around? ) .\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach planet presents an optical riddle. The only clues are visual. No answers are provided. This is a kosmos for intrepid discoverers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI once ruled the worlds. Not just one, but many. I ruled them with mirrors and lenses. I ruled them with light and shadow and time. Sometimes I ruled with a trick of the eye. Through my camera, an entire kosmos took shape, and each world within it seemed to operate by a certain unfamiliar logic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e— Jan von Holleben\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLearn more about the book \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/littlesteidl.de\/holleben-kosmos\/\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLearn more about it’s precious production \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/littlesteidl.de\/kosmos-idea\/\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mahala Independent Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63946965680458,"sku":null,"price":41.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/5662\/5482\/files\/Screenshot2026-10-16at12.17.41PM.png?v=1792142313","url":"https:\/\/mahala.bg\/en\/products\/kosmos-by-jan-von-holleben-1","provider":"Mahala Independent Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
