Chlorophilia : Artists : Hanna Rut Neidhardt + Joachim Raab

Gnadenbrot* is the title of a picture book by Hanna Rut Neidhardt and Joachim Raab.

Fascinated by a series of Joachim's photos of shagged out caravans in the surroundings of Frankfurt am Main, Hanna put these mobile objects' peculiar appeal into words. Rusting away, some of them get their gnadenbrot in exchange for obscure purposes; others seem forgotten between trees as they are overrun by moss, ivy and foliage. All of them radiate an odd aura of mystery; regarded with pity, or struck by the spell of a hermetically sealed capsule.

*Crumbs out of Pity, meaning feed for an aged farm animal that has been put out to pasture
