Christoph Ransmayr - Egal wohin, Baby
What's it about?
In memory of the classic photo album, in which the adventures of the moment were documented in keywords under often blurry pictures, Christoph Ransmayr tells seventy stories condensed into micro-novels for seventy of his black-and-white photographs in "Egal wohin, Baby". Cast Christoph Ransmayr — Recitation Christoph Ransmayr was born in 1954 in Wels, Upper Austria, and lives in Vienna after years in Ireland and traveling. In addition to his novels "The Terrors of Ice and Darkness," "The Last World," "Morbus Kitahara," "The Flying Mountain," "Cox or The Course of Time," "The Case Master. A Short History of Killing," and the "Atlas of a Fearful Man," he has also published storytelling forms including "Ladies & Gentlemen Under Water," "Confessions of a Tourist," "The Wolf Hunter" (together with Martin Pollack), and "Medicine Against Mortality." In 2022, he published the collection of poems and ballads "Under a Sugar Sky" (illustrated by Anselm Kiefer), and in 2024, the story collection "When I Was Immortal" as well as the volume "Egal wohin, Baby" with photographs by the author. About the work Christoph Ransmayr's work is also featured in the volume "Report by the Fire." For his books, which have been translated into more than thirty languages, he has received numerous literary awards, including the literature prizes named after Friedrich Hölderlin, Franz Kafka, Bertolt Brecht, and Heinrich von Kleist, the Premio Mondello, and, together with Salman Rushdie, the Prix Aristeion of the European Union, the Prix du meilleur livre étranger, and the Prix Jean Monnet for European Literature, most recently in 2023 the South Korean Park-Kyung-ni Award. Egal wohin, Baby Seventy images, seventy stories, seventy literary masterpieces Here, someone makes his life visible through snapshots, narratively traversing continents and times, sometimes ironically, but always with passion and virtuosity, capturing the fleetingness of the moment. In memory of the classic photo album, in which the adventures of the moment were documented in keywords under often blurry pictures, Christoph Ransmayr tells seventy stories condensed into micro-novels for seventy of his black-and-white photographs in "Egal wohin, Baby". Each photo is an optical note, recorded by chance of presence and in passing with a smartphone or digital camera. Each text accompanying the image becomes a self-contained, sophisticated piece of prose: a micro-novel. Because even in a few lines, expeditions into the moments of reality and the boundlessness of imagination can be narrated — especially when done with the observational acuity and linguistic skill of the worldly-experienced Christoph Ransmayr.
