Of all the motivations that stir people’s deepest emotions and drive them to act, there is scarcely one that does not stem from collecting. By accumulating and displaying the most diverse objects, people find their bearings and give expression not only to their passion, but also to their vanity and their desire for power. In the carefully selected, vividly colored still lifes of her book *Herr der Dinge (Master of Things)*, photographer Caroline Heinecke challenges the tendency to collect for profit or personal gain, drawing attention instead to collections of objects considered ordinary or useless.
The edition includes two maps, one of which is signed
