Gereon Wetzel takes us to a paralel universe full of absurdities. A guardsman looking after 30 000 empty apartments, sheep that are gazing between houses, a driving school practicing fuel saving driving on the abandoned streets of a ghost town. Wetzel finds images for the real estate and financial crisis in Spain that make those abstract terms understandable yet unbelievable.
