Following "Autistic Disco" and "O Mensch", "Who's There?" is the third book in a trilogy of illustrated volumes that focus on the exploration of humanity. “Who's there?” is the question that opens William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Then the human being enters the stage as a representative and asks the essential question of to be or not to be. When Hamlet holds up the skull of the deceased court jester Yorick, it is a gesture of self-reflection. The fool contemplates the fool. Taken with a smartphone and an SLR camera, Lars Eidinger's new photographs were created in Tokyo, Kyoto, Shanghai, Istanbul, Berlin, London, Tehran, Sydney, Paris, and other locations. They are accompanied by a text by Peter Sloterdijk.
