In five stages, Frank Böckelmann and Dietrich Leube guide us through situations of threat and even life danger, using texts and images. They create a panorama of risk based on danger scenarios from cultural history and documents of a fragile present. It becomes clear that danger is never without an escape route. Their collection of materials is entirely unconventional: it showcases the diversity of natural phenomena and the inventiveness of humans responding to this abundance. Böckelmann and Leube expand the reader's knowledge, bringing attention to the unheard and the unknown, all without being didactic.
