The young art historian Chiara Manon Bohn has been assisting the Siegen photo artist Thomas Kellner in his work for four years. She supports him in everyday studio life, in the conception of projects and exhibitions and accompanies them with essays and speeches on openings.

In this volume, her perspective on the work of Thomas Kellner is processed in five essays. She writes about the artist's latest project, the Siegen half-timbered houses, previously photographed by Bernd and Hilla Becher, as well as Kellner's well-known work with contact sheets. In addition to texts on Genius Loci, Tango Metropolis and Brasília, there is also an essay worth reading about the underlying methodology and the exhibition Visual Analytical Synthesis, defined and named by Irina Chmyreva and revisited by Chiara Manon Bohn.
