Born and raised in the former (and socialist) East Germany, Richard had experienced the sensation of becoming a kind of "other" within the newly reunified (and capitalist) nation. A quarter of a century later, faced with the massive influx of African immigrants and refugees into Germany, he encountered other "others" and wondered if they had anything in common.

The typographic cover features a mirroring that evokes both the figure of the other and the contours of a past.
