This German neologism for the ­magazine report from the domestic world of celebrities encapsulates the feeling of participation in their ­private lives. It is an extremely apt title for the project initiated in Spring 2013 in the former Literaturhaus at No. 102 ­Bockenheimer Landstraße here, too, there is a focus upon tales from a domestic milieu and participation in a global cultural exchange under the auspices of constants such as origin, homeland and home. The former Literaturhaus at one time the home and villa of the Sondheimer family who fled from the Nazis was purchased by the KfW banking group in 2012 and used by the KfW Foundation before its conversion into a multi-purpose amenity. Students from the Städelschule in Frankfurt and stipend-holders from the Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin started the ball rolling with works partially ­developed on site, culminating in the opening on 13 March as an ­exhibition with a reading by Raj Kamal Jha from his novel »The Blue Bedspread«. This was followed up on 28 March by a symposium entitled »In Transit. Artists ­Travelling in the Globalised ­Present«. This book provides a rounded account of these many activities ahead of the building s refurbishment and inauguration as the official seat of the KfW ­Foundation. Alongside photographs of the installations and essays from the symposium on the individual development of artists and institu­tions in the wake of globalisation, the book also contains a fourteen-part photographic series by ­Laurenz Berges who captures the condition of the villa in a number of strictly documentary images, ­taking stock of the building in ­minute detail.
