Benjamin, Walter / Ottersbach, Heribert. Angelus Novus: Über den Begriff der Geschichte. Düsseldorf/Poestenkill, New York, Kaldewey Press, 1993. Folio (51 cm). 26 pp. One of 50 copies from the regular edition from a total edition of 61. Ottersbach’s complex collaged images perfectly counterpoint the famous Benjamin text, presented only in its essence: the inexorable course of the angel, the mounting tower of the detritus of “progress,” his inability to tear his eyes away from the storm of history, and the humble, pedestrian human elements that are, in the end, simple detritus as well. [Edition Kaldewey - No. 20].
