“This work recounts the legend of Galerant, a restaurant-gallery project in Hamburg. As a procession of figures and situations advance from one page to another, one realizes that the protagonists are the artists themselves, and their friend Torsten the chef. The reader is ushered into a carnival of exuberance, which greets the reader like a playmate in the style of traditional children’s book. The story is preceded by Anatoli Susin’s rendition of the Russian philosophical tale, hand-calligraphed by Althoff.
Each artist created a series of eight original drawings for this book during their stay in Montreuil from September to October 2003.”
