Ulrike Siebe, Germany
I have always loved maps. I love to look where all the countries and cities are and to travel there
in my mind. Books are also like that. To read or look at a book is like going on a journey.

And bookmarks... they highlight the place where you pause. When you go back to reading, a
bookmark is like the red dot on those city maps that you can find in different locations of
touristic cities - this red dot that is showing yourself your position.

The question "Where are you going?" is pointing forwards and completes the positioning.
Once you know where you are you may ask yourself: will I stay, will I go back, will I go
on - and which direction do I choose?

Ulrike Siebe studied Fine Arts, Mixed Media at the Aki, part of ArtEZ Academies of
