Foreword
The assignments
and the
photographers
in this catalogue
are made for
each other.
Each of the photographers in this Katalog began with
an assignment. A catalogue is always hungry for ideas
that are timely and original and has to be satisfied at
a tremendous speed. There was no time for reflection.
Deadlines can be the worst part of a working on a
project – mostly, they are the best part. You launch a
project into orbit without second-guessing yourself,

takes the first leap with an idea. Another builds on
it, and then another, until the idea is clear enough to

assignments and the photographers in this catalogue
are made for each other. It proves that everyone is a
photographer.

Or maybe the Katalog just likes the colour. According to
Wikipedia yellow is associated with positive emotions like
happiness and sponteneaty. In China they associate yellow
