Hell's Guardian Angels
Published by Diogenes as Schutzengel der Hölle
Original Title: Schutzengel der Hölle
»For 'normal' human beings a torture chamber is hell. However, for other people the normal, everyday world is hell and the torture chamber is a cell of refuge, isolated from the outer world by a protective dominatrix – a guardian angel from hell. In this work, I am concerned with a question which I have asked myself again and again throughout my life: what is normal?«
