Der Greif 15 — The Collectivity Issue

Der Greif Issue 15 is edited by fifty guest-artists who juxtapose their work with an image from the open call

For Issue 15– titled “The Collectivity Issue” – Der Greif reimagines the role of guest editing. Rather than inviting a single creative voice to curate the publication, we are thrilled to partner with 50 guest artists, each entrusted with guest-editing a single spread within the issue.

Across each two-page spread, an invited artist juxtaposes one of their own works alongside an image chosen directly from our global open call. This unique format turns every page turn into a dual perspective: a direct, visual conversation between established practices and emerging voices.

The issue reflects on today's understanding, experience, and critique of collectivity. How do we gather, share, collide, and coexist? What does solidarity, shared space, or collective memory look like today?

The resulting issue becomes more than a magazine; it is a decentralized network of 50 distinct dialogues, a living experiment in shared authorship, visual resonance, and the power of coming together.

The invited editors are: Laia Abril, Hoda Afshar, Thomas Albdorf, Justin Aversano, Delali Ayivi, Jessica Backhaus, Hajar Benjida, Tereza Cervenova, Debmalya Roy Choudhuri, Maja Daniels, Roger Eberhard, Anna Ehrenstein, Charlie Engman, Nadine Fraczkowski, Tania Franco Klein, Kris Graves, Saskia Groneberg, Melanie & Stephanie Hausberger, Todd Hido, Hannah Hughes, Andy Kassier, Nico Krijno, Mårten Lange, Gabby Laurent, Shane Lavalette, Simon Lehner, Pixy Liao, Thomas Lohr, Janelle Lynch, Amak Mahmoodian, Anne Morgenstern, Stefanie Moshammer, Zora J Murff, Marton Perlaki, Sarker Protick, Maximilian Prüfer, Luis Alberto Rodriguez, Kwabena Sekyi Appiah-Nti, Andy Sewell, Max Siedentopf, Pacifico Silano, Prarthna Singh, Eva Stenram, Clare Strand, Esther Teichmann, Peter Watkins, Jonas Wendelin, Bowei Yang, Tereza Zelenkova and Tobias Zielony.
