In recent months, he has set out to explore literary sites in his hometown of Nuremberg, which was already a center of book printing in the Middle Ages and the subject of many literary stories. This has resulted in a photo book created in collaboration with the Bildungscampus Nürnberg. Höhn is presenting a selection of these images in the foyer.

His deserted photographs tell stories of books, places of learning, and repositories of knowledge. They chart a new course through Nuremberg’s past and present. In the immediate vicinity of the museum, these include the Institute of Modern Art as well as the Literaturhaus across the street.
