Balthasar Burkhard, Markus Jakob: Click, Said the Camera

In Balthasar Burkhard and Markus Jacobs elegantly designed childrens book, 20 animals meet for a photographers beauty contest. The protagonist of the story is a shy donkey who watches the antics of the animals with wry humor as they pose for the photographer, parading their splendor. Please stand here, in front of this backdrop, Baboon, said the artist Click, said the camera.

First published in 1997, this beloved childrens book is now reprinted in a smaller format, on the occasion of Burkhards 201718 surveys at Museum Folkwang and Fotostiftung Schweiz.
