Faithfulness amid change

Alexander Kluge and Anselm Kiefer bring text and images into conversation around reliability in unsettled times. The volume considers four forces—power, love, truth, and money—and moves among history, myth, and the present day to ask what endures as circumstances shift. Its collaborative form makes the exchange itself central: a meeting of writing and visual art organized around questions of time and what can hold people together.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in collaborations between literature and visual art.
  • Readers drawn to reflections on power, love, truth, money, and reliability.
  • Those interested in works that connect historical, mythic, and contemporary perspectives.

Book overview

A layered and lyrical collaboration between two great artists--Anselm Kiefer and Alexander Kluge--that explores what it means to remain faithful amid the shifting forces of power, love, truth, and money.

What holds us together in times of uncertainty? For decades, artist Anselm Kiefer and filmmaker-writer Alexander Kluge have explored this question--both as friends and collaborators. This latest volume is a bold and poetic exchange of images and texts in which they delve into the idea of reliability and its relationship to the four great forces that shape our lives: power, love, truth, and money.

Moving across history, myth, and the present day, Kiefer and Kluge ask: What is time? In a world of endless change, how do we hold on to what endures? Inspired by H
