An interview with FRANK ZAURITZ
Author and Art Director MAIELIN VAN EILUM
I have various fears, stage fright before every job, and no matter how successful I am I always feel existential angst. If no jobs come in, I think I'm the worst photographer in the world, nobody likes my work and nobody calls me....

"1987 war Aids die Angst & Schrecken Seuche.
Sie brach nicht in China, sondern in den Fischerdörfern
am Viktoriasee aus. Ich flog mit sehr viel Furcht nach
Uganda. Und kam ohne sie zurück."..... Helge Timmerberg

“How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so? ”

An interview with ALEA HORST
Author & Art Director MAIELIN VAN EILUM
​
You describe yourself as a scaredy-cat. I wouldn’t describe a woman who travels to Syria in 2019 as a scaredy-cat.
I wasn’t in the war zone. Damascus, Aleppo and Tartus were already pacified...

The Mayan script was a labyrinth for linguists. Again and again a researcher would announce that they had found the key, only to reach a dead end. This went on for 421 years. You had to deal with about 800 hieroglyphs. Too many for an alphabet, too few for one symbol for each word.....

An Interview with HARRISON FORD, SEAN CONNERY and ALISON DOODY
Author HELGE TIMMERBERG
Illustrator and Art Director MAIELIN VAN EILUM
We looked especially good the day we did the three interviews. I was shaved, Arti had washed her hair, and we drove a $50 twelfth-hand car. We were on our way to the "Four Seasons Hotel" in Beverly Hills, where first Harrison Ford, then Alison Doody, and finally Sean Connery were waiting for us. "For such occasions you either arrive in a Jaguar or in a junk heap," Arti said. "Anything else is tacky.".....

Scene of the crime: an arrogant bar on Hamburg's Alster lake. I don’t know whether this is only available from them or whether the raspberry mojito is mixed all over the world.....

Illustrator and Art Director MAIELIN VAN EILUM
The Fear of the plague sat like a rat in the caves of my subconscious as I stepped out of the Sarah International Airport at midnight in Bombay and got into a taxi. Just sheer nerves. Check lymph glands every morning and evening, and keep the faith, because the faithful wont succumb, the Prophet Mohammed said.....

He was the first one to approach me as we entered the enclosure, and the first thing he did was make a grab for my right ear. He didn’t manage to snatch the hearing aid, I was a fraction of a second faster than him. Then, smack, his tongue was in my earhole......
