Human Beings and Their Existence
Following "Autistic Disco" and "O Mensch", "Who's There?" is the third book in a trilogy of illustrated volumes that focus on the exploration of humanity. "Who's there?" is the question that opens William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Then the human being enters the stage as a representative and asks the essential question of to be or not to be. When Hamlet holds up the skull of the deceased court jester Yorick, it is a gesture of self-reflection. The fool contemplates the fool. 

Taken with a smartphone and an SLR camera, Lars Eidinger's new photographs were created in Tokyo, Kyoto, Shanghai, Istanbul, Berlin, London, Tehran, Sydney, Paris, and other locations. They are accompanied by a text by Peter Sloterdijk.

Lars Eidinger, born in 1976, is one of the most prominent actors in film and on stage. As a DJ and as a performer of Bertold Brecht's Hauspostille, he fills venues across the country. His photographs and videos have been exhibited at K21 in the Kunstsammlung NRW, the Hamburger Kunsthalle, and Galerie Ruttkowski;68, among others. A solo exhibition entitled "Who's there?" is planned for fall 2026 at the Kunsthalle Tübingen.
