Throwing Stones into the Glass House - Reflections on Social Media

Throwing Stones into the Glass House
Reflections on Social Media

ISBN 978-3-9525209-6-3

Social media forms and often controls our every-day life: We organise our daily schedule on WhatsApp; send birthday wishes to random people on Facebook; upload photos of our lunch on Instagram, and create funny bunny-eared pictures of ourselves on Snapchat.
But what happens to us as individual humans, as social beings, as thinking persons, as models on this virtual stage? Does it affect our minds when and if we break or lose our smartphone? Could we survive without a battery charger for two weeks? Is the virtual world liberating our thoughts or rather imprisoning our habits of thinking?

Eternal Rest - Ossuary Aethetics

Eternal Rest - Ossuary Aesthetics

Anna-Katharina Höpflinger/ Yves Müller
ISBN 978-3-9525209-5-6

From today's point of view piles of bones and skulls seem macabre, but not so long ago they were part of human life all across the then Roman Catholic Europe: From the middle-ages up to the 19th century, ossuaries have been an important part of the burial culture. But not only that: The collection of human bones was also connected to various religious practices – from praying for the "poor souls", magical exercises seeking help from the dead and more to mundane acts like playing soccer with human skulls. If you have ever wondered what our ancestors thought while building structures made of human remains, Eternal Rest welcomes you to this world, rich in stories, meaning, and hope.
