Almost no other place in Germany is viewed with as much prejudice as Sylt. Yet the supposed "island of beautiful people" has countless facets. When the summer is over and tourism ebbs, it becomes quiet and melancholy. Then the landscape shows its true face: a timeless beauty marked by the traces of civilization, which makes for amusing, contradictory situations. In a long-term project, selected artists and photographers spent five years traveling the island and depicting its picturesque or dismal sides, sometimes in documentary, other times in artistic form. Along with earlier photographs, some of them dating from the sixties, this publication features an interesting variety of views of Sylt - from the soft, sandy beaches to the absurd concrete deserts. The accompanying essays explore the notion of wanderlust or indulge in a certain pleasure in critical comedy.0Exhibition: Willy-Brandt-Haus, Berlin, Germany (July 2012); Stiftung Kunst:Raum, Rantum, Germany (May 2013).
